Abstract:
Objective: To assess the peculiarity of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in pulmonary granuloma. Methods: From February, 2000 to April, 2002, 12 patients with pulmonary granuloma were imaged with FDG-PET (positron emission tomography) before surgery. The maximum and mean standard uptake value (SUVmax and SUVmean) of granuloma were measured and compared with SUV of normal lung (SUVlung). Results: All pulmonary granulomas were detected by FDG-PET. FDG uptake of granuloma was higher than that of normal lung (P
