Increased cardiac uptake of (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose incidentally detected on positron emission tomography after left breast irradiation: How to interpret?
Cancer/Radiothérapie(2022)
摘要
Radiation-induced heart disease is a complication that occurs years after thoracic irradiation. Recent studies suggest that radiation-induced heart disease could be an earlier complication and that subclinical cardiac injury can be detected. The present case described an increased uptake of (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose incidentally detected on positron emission tomography after left breast irradiation with slightly reversible perfusion defect on (99mTc)-tetrofosmin single photon emission computed tomography. The cardiac clinical examination was asymptomatic, and the patient had a normal angiography, suggesting a radiation-induced hibernating myocardium. The relevant question is: how far should an incidentally (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake be explored?
