Role of delayed imaging to differentiate intense physiological 18F FDG uptake from peritoneal deposits in patients presenting with intestinal obstruction.

AbstractOne of the main limitations of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) is false-positive tracer uptake by physiological and inflammatory conditions. Continuing FDG accumulation occurs in tumors, but not in inflammatory lesions, and dual time-p
