The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 05/15/09
Jerushalmi J et al. - Thymic 18F-FDG uptake was found in 28% of the present study population, more frequently after treatment. T+ patients were significantly younger. Thymic uptake was found in 73% of untreated patients up to the age of 13 y and in 8% of patients in the fourth decade of life. Knowledge of this age- and treatment-related incidence of physiologic thymic 18F-FDG avidity can reduce the number of potential pitfalls in reporting PET/CT studies in cancer patients.
