In this abridgement, Daniel Pryma, MD, Clinical Director of Nuclear Medicine/Molecular Imaging at Penn Medicine, considers the anomalies associated with the analog fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) when used in conjunction with PET/CT scanning. Dr. Pryma’s summary includes attenuation correction artifacts in high density materials, the false positives associated with interpretation technique in PET/CT and image registration (and misregistration) with the modality.
