Impact of Renal Failure on F18-FDG PET/CT Scans
OBJECTIVE The current guidelines for 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose PET/CT scanning do not address potential inaccuracies that may arise due to patients with renal failure. We report a retrospective analysis of standard uptake values (SUVs) in patients with and without renal failure in order to warrant a protocol adjustment. METHODS Patients were matched based on age, gender, and BMI all of ...
