Abstract

Patient preparation for FDG PET studies is perhaps more critical and more complex than for any other commonly performed imaging procedure. We report a patient with normal blood glucose level prior to the execution of a PET study in which FDG uptake was virtually zero in internal organs and was very extense in large muscle groups. The patient recognizes ingestion several minutes before the test. Ten days later, a repeated PET scan with normal blood glucose level, showed a normal organs distribution of FDG.

Keywords:
Normal blood glucose level
18F-FDG
Abnormal distribution
Resumen

La preparación de un estudio de FDG PET es probablemente de las más críticas dentro de los estudios de imagen. Presentamos el caso de una paciente que presentaba valores normales de glucemia previos a un estudio con PET, en el que la captación de la FDG fue prácticamente nula en órganos internos y muy extensa en los grandes grupos musculares. La paciente reconoció posteriormente una ingesta minutos antes de la prueba. El estudio con PET fue repetido 10 días después, también en normoglucemia, obteniendo una distribución normal de la FDG.

Palabras clave:
Normoglucemia
18F-FDG
Alteración de la distribución
