18F-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Findings Are Different Between Invasive and Noninvasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Abstract

F-FDG PET/CT findings differ between IPA and NIPA patients. Pulmonary aspergillosis in immunocompromised status with a hypermetabolic nodule pattern on F-FDG PET/CT seems to have high possibility of IPA. In contrast, an isometabolic halo pattern and an isometabolic nodule pattern on F-FDG PET/CT seem to have high possibility of NIPA.
