Unexpected Accumulation of F-18 FDG in the Urinary Bladder After Bladder Irrigation and Retrograde Filling With Sterile Saline: A Possible Pitfall in PET Examination
Clinical Nuclear Medicine , 09/24/09

Lin WY et al. – Unexpected FDG activity in the urinary bladder, either focal or diffuse, may occur after bladder irrigation and retrograde filling and interfere with pelvic image interpretation. Great caution is required to avoid misdiagnosis: focal FDG accumulation may mimic tumor uptake of FDG whereas diffuse FDG activity may obliterate a FDG–avid pelvic lesion. Repeated bladder irrigation and retrograde filling, and prone–position imaging are useful techniques to ascertain the nature of the FDG accumulation.
