Chronic Vasitis After Mesh Herniorrhaphy: A Potential Cause of False Positive Results in 18F-FDG PET/CT Studies.

abstract：PURPOSE:Tl-201 chloride has been used to image viable tumors in various sites of the body. There has been limited use of Tl-201 below the diaphragm because of normal uptake in the liver, spleen, kidneys, and intestines. The use of sequential Tl-201 and Tc-99m sulfur colloid in the detection and characterization of susp...
