[ 1 ] - Factors influencing the pattern and intensity of myocardial 18F-FDG uptake in oncologic PET-CT imaging

Intense or heterogeneous myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is undesirable as it may interfere with the visual or quantitative evaluation of tumoral invasion and metastases in pericardium, myocardiu...
