Abstract:
Nowadays, more attentions have been paid on brown adipose tissue (BAT) because BAT plays a great role in individuals with obesity and metabolic diseases. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is noninvasive and sensitive to detect the location, volume, and metabolic activity of BAT. 18F-FDG PET/CT for BAT provides new insight for the prevention and clinical management of obesity and diabetes. The review summarizes the methods to activate BAT, the preparation of patients, 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging techniques and clinical application.
