Seasonal variation in the effect of constant ambient temperature of 24°C in reducing FDG uptake by brown adipose tissue in children
Abstract
PurposeIt has been shown that warming patients prior to and during 18F-FDG uptake by controlling the room temperature can decrease uptake by brown adipose tissue (BAT). The aim of this study is to determine if this effect is subject to seasonal variation.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of all patients referred for whole-body 18F-FDG PET between December 2006 and December 2008. After December 2007, all patients were kept in the PET …
