Özet
Background: Standardized uptake values (SUVs) are important indexes for evaluating the accuracy of disease diagnoses achieved via fluoro-18 deoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). The purpose of this study is to describe normal cerebral FDG uptake in the pediatric population and compare SUVmax/mean results for brain images obtained from PET/CT and PET/MRI in neurologically healthy pediatric examinees.
