Assessment of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with Advanced Imaging Modalities
Figure 3
18F-FDG PET study in a subject with cardiac and extra-cardiac sarcoidosis. 18F-FDG uptake is focally increased in the basal septal wall, consistent with active CS, and is suppressed in other left ventricular walls (white arrows). Whole-body study shows multiple extra-cardiac foci of 18F-FDG uptake in chest, lymph nodes, and subcutaneous tissue consistent with active extensive systemic sarcoidosis. 18F-FDG PET: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, MIP: maximum intensity projection.
