[18F]FDG uptake of the normal spinal cord in PET/MR imaging: comparison with PET/CT imaging

Abstract Background The lack of visualization of the spinal cord hinders the evaluation of [18F]Fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) uptake of the spinal cord in PET/CT. By exploiting the capability of MRI to precisely outline the spinal cord, we performed a retrospective study aimed to define normal pattern...
