Clinical Value of [18F]fluoro-Deoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography for Patients with Fever of Unknown Origin
Abstract
We describe the diagnostic contribution of [18F]fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scan in 58 consecutive cases of fever of unknown origin (FUO) and compare this new approach with gallium scintigraphy. This investigation was performed from March 1996 through October 1998 at Gasthuisberg University Hospital in Leuven, Belgium. A final diagnosis was established for 38 patients (64%). Forty-six FDG-PET scans (79%) were...
