Increased (18)F-FDG signal recovery from small physiological structures in digital PET/CT and application to the pituitary gland

On conventional PET/CT, and under physiological conditions, the volume of the pituitary gland (PG) is small, and its metabolic activity is commonly comparable to the surrounding background level in (18)F-FDG imaging. We compared the physiological (18)F-FDG uptake of the PG in patients imaged with di...
