Unusual scintiscan appearance of Meckel's diverticulum. A case report.

abstract：PURPOSE:In recent years, several case reports have described venous thromboembolism (VTE) on FDG PET/CT. In this short communication, we present results from a proof-of-concept pilot study aimed at providing some preliminary data on the efficacy of FDG PET/CT in prospective patients with suspected VTE.
