Fluorocholine PET/computed tomography: physiologic uptake, benign findings, and pitfalls

Mohsen Beheshti et al. PET Clin. 2014 Jul.

Abstract

Choline PET has a role in the diagnosis of malignancies. Knowledge of normal biodistribution plays a vital role in disease characterization and in differentiating normal variants from disease processes. CT and MR scans provide complementary information, and choline-positive sites should be correlated clinically to exclude inflammatory disorders.

Keywords: Benign findings; Choline; PET/CT; Physiologic variation; Pitfalls.
