Abstract:
White adipose tissue usually shows negligible fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) uptake. In certain clinical conditions this (18)F-FDG uptake has been reported to be increased like in HIV patients under treatment, in exogenous Cushing's syndrome, in cases related to premedication and other cases.
