Neurosarcoidosis on FET and FDG PET/CT.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2017, Volume: 42, Issue:3

    O-(2-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) PET/CT is a promising imaging modality for brain tumor imaging because of its reported high sensitivity for biologically active tumor tissue. We present a case of biopsy-proven neurosarcoidosis showing FET uptake. It is an important cause of false-positive uptake on FET PET/CT.
