Effects of blood glucose level on 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake for PET/CT in normal organs: an analysis on 5623 patients
Abstract Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of glycemia on 18F-FDG uptake in normal organs of interest. The influences of other confounding factors, such as body mass index (BMI), diabetes, age, and sex, on the relationships between glycemia and organ-specific standardized uptake values (SUVs) w...
