Thymus 18F FDG Uptake - Normal Variant or Hyper- stimulation


The above image shows the standard normal biodistribution of 18F FDG uptake in a patient imaged with 18 F FDG.

Please click on the image or link above to view the PDF of teaching files on increased thymus uptake which can happen as a normal Variant due to hyper-stimulation of thymus post chemotherapy. This could be misinterpreted as active disease in many a situation.
