Incidental Pituitary FDG Uptake on PET‐CT: A Retrospective Review of Current Practice and Outcomes at a UK Tertiary Centre
Our review highlights significant variation in referral patterns for secondary imaging and to the Endocrine department. We suggest potential use of SUVmax threshold to distinguish physiological from pathological pituitary FDG uptake. Further validation in larger cohorts is warranted before routine clinical application.
