3. 18FDG-PET scan shows no significant metabolic activity in the right upper lobe
The 18FDG-PET scan shows no significant metabolic activity in the right upper lobe nodule (standard uptake value= 1.8). No peribronchial or mediastinal lymph node tracer utilization was identified. The scan appears technically adequate- normal blood pool and muscle tracer activity is visible. No evidence of artifact to suggest that the 18FDG-PET scan cannot be accurately interpreted is noted.
