Thoracic [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose uptake measured by positron emission tomography/computed tomography in pulmonary hypertension
Positron emission tomography (PET) visualizes increased cellular [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([(18)F]FDG) uptake. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is conceived of a proliferative disease of the lung vessels. Increased glucose uptake can be quantified as pulmonary [(18)F]FDG uptake via PET imaging. Because...
