چکیده
We present the whole body FDG PET-CT images on 3 different patients with benign focal activity in the region of the right atrium. Co-registered CT correctly identified the cause of focal FDG activity as: right atrial appendage, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, and catheter-related activity. Although all these have been reported separately in the literature, we are presenting them together to emphasize the importance of recognizing the benign causes of FDG uptake in the region of right atrium and the role of co-registered CT in improving the accuracy and specificity of the FDG PET.
