Comparative evaluation of 18F-FDG PET and 67Ga scintigraphy in patients with sarcoidosis.

Abstract

The results of this clinical study suggest that 18F-FDG PET can detect pulmonary lesions to a similar degree as 67Ga scintigraphy. However, 18F-FDG PET appears to be more accurate and contributes to a better evaluation of extrapulmonary involvement in sarcoidosis patients.
