Cardiac positron emission tomography with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) is often used for the diagnosis of cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis. Areas of segmental perfusion defects coupled with FDG uptake are considered to represent active inflammation. However, these findings may be associated with other inflammatory myocardial diseases. We describe a case of tuberculous myocarditis with imaging findings mimicking those found in cardiac sarcoidosis.
氟-18氟脱氧葡萄糖心肌正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)常用于诊断结节病的心脏受累情况。节段性灌注缺损区域伴有FDG摄取被认为代表活动性炎症。然而,这些发现可能与其他炎症性心肌疾病有关。我们描述了一例结核性心肌炎病例,其影像学表现与心脏结节病相似。
