It is well-known that physiological FDG uptake in the skeletal muscles is affected by serum insulin levels and the extent to which the muscles contract before the examination. Patients are instructed to refrain from strenuous exercise, talking too much, and taking meals at least 4 hours before the administration of the tracer. Even if the patient does not intend to exercise, muscular accumulation related to specific behaviors can still be visualized in the images. In this manuscript, we present FDG PET/CT images from 4 cases reflecting the mode of transportation used by the patients to visit the hospital.
众所周知，骨骼肌的生理 FDG 摄取受血清胰岛素水平和检查前肌肉收缩程度的影响。患者被指示在给予示踪剂前至少 4 小时避免剧烈运动、过多说话和进食。即使患者不打算运动，特定行为引起的肌肉堆积仍可在图像中显示出来。在本文中，我们展示了 4 例 FDG PET/CT 图像，反映了患者来医院就诊时使用的交通方式。
