Exploring <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake patterns in liver, spleen, and bone marrow: Implications for inflammatory and infectious conditions.
This study demonstrates the association between inflammatory markers and <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake in liver, spleen and bone marrow. C-reactive protein and ESR showing significant correlations with spleen and bone marrow <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake, and albumin correlated with liver <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake negatively. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate had significant impact on spleen and bone marrow <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptakes. These findings suggest the potential of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing inflammatory conditions, warranting further investigation into its clinical implications.
