Abstract

This study aimed to assess the role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 FDG-PET/CT) in the differential diagnosis of pericardial disease. The diagnosis is often troublesome because pericardial fluid analysis or biopsy does not always provide answers. 18 FDG-PET/CT can visualize both inflammation and malignancy and offers a whole-body assessment. Patients who visited the Pericardial Disease Clinic of...
