The PET study was performed during a clostridium difficile-associated diarrheal illness. Striking [18F]FDG uptake was demonstrated in the wall of the colon over its entire length. Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea and mechanisms of [18F]FDG uptake in normal and abnormal tissues are briefly reviewed and a mechanism for FDG uptake in this patient is postulated. | Gov't Doc #: | 8862310 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13479 | Journal: | Journal of Nuclear Medicine | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8862310 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Colon.radionuclide imaging Deoxyglucose.analogs & derivatives.diagnostic use Enterocolitis, Pseudomembranous.complications.radionuclide imaging Fluorine Radioisotopes.diagnostic use Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 Humans Male Middle Aged Pancreatic Neoplasms.complications.drug therapy.radionuclide imaging |
