Excerpt

With the growing use of FDG-PET, there is an increasing body of literature reporting non-specific FDG accumulation in a wide spectrum of anatomical variants and physiological processes as well as in several benign pathologies. This observation has led to active research with regard to the utility of this modality in assessing patients with suspected or known infection or inflammatory disorders. However, there is growing interest in improving the specificity of the technique in patients with cancer. Efforts are being made to modify the acquisition and analysis of image data for FDG-PET and to develop new tracers that have superior specificity. …
