Variants of physiological FDG vascular activity on digital PET
A minority of our subjects presented with grade 2 large vessel uptake, which was associated with longer uptake times, or grade 1 cranial artery uptake, which was associated with higher age and glycemia. These findings should be interpreted with caution in patients referred for suspected vasculitis, as they may represent normal variants on digital PET.
