High [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in abdominal abscesses: a PET study

T Tahara et al. J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1989 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

We report two cases of abdominal abscess displaying high uptake of [18F]fluorodeoxyglycose (FDG) by positron emission tomography (PET). Abdominal abscesses should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses showing high FDG uptake in PET studies.
