A 61-year-old male patient with known kidney dysfunction who underwent a non-contrast thorax CT and was then referred to our department for metabolic assessment of solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). The patient underwent dynamic FDG PET/CT to differentiate benign from malignant SPN. This case illustrates the usefulness of dynamic FDG PET/CT imaging when assessing SPN especially in patients with suspicion for pulmonary arterio-venous malformation accompanying renal failure or contrast allergy.
一位 61 岁男性患者,已知肾功能障碍,行非增强胸部 CT 后转至我科进行孤立性肺结节(SPN)代谢评估。患者行动态 FDG PET/CT 以区分 SPN 的良恶性。本病例说明在评估 SPN 时,特别是在怀疑伴有肾衰竭或对比过敏的肺动静脉畸形的患者中,动态 FDG PET/CT 成像的有用性。
