Sports activity done five days before PET/CT results in augmented FDG uptake in skeletal muscles
Authors
Abstract:
Increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before FDG injection is a known phenomenon. We present FDG PET/CT findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla His scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. There was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing five days before the scan and no history of other known factors known to enhance skeletal muscle FDG uptake. After carefully eliminating all other known factors causing augmented FDG uptake in muscles, we attributed this uptake to be the persistent effect of sports activity of skiing. Though the exact mechanism remains unclear, our case suggests; the effect of exercise causing increased FDG uptake in skeletal muscles may persist for longer period than previously proposed and reported.

Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...

full textThe effect of glucagon on FDG uptake in skeletal muscle.
Glucagon is used as an anti-motility agent during gastrointestinal tract examinations. We experienced subjects with enhanced 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in whole-body skeletal muscle when conducting positron emission tomography (PET). The subjects had been administered glucagon during gastroscopy just prior to PET. This observation prompted us to perform the present retrospective study ...
