[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in Neonatal Acute Lung Injury Measured by Positron Emission Tomography
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate positron emission tomography(PET) of [18F]fluorodexoyglucose (18FDG) uptake as a measure of neonatal acute lung injury. Inasmuch as intrapulmonary sequestration of neutrophils is a hallmark of acute lung injury, quantification of neutrophil activity using 18FDG may offer a novel, in vivo technique to examine the progression and resolution of this disease. Ten newborn piglets were studied; six received …
