Abstract

¹⁸Fluorine-2- Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose positron emission tomography (¹⁸FDG PET) allows imaging of sites with increased metabolic activity. Increased metabolic activity in mediastinal nodes in sarcoidosis has been described. We report the prospective diagnosis of thoracic sarcoidosis on ¹⁸FDG PET based on extensive, peripheral, upper lobe parenchymal, and mediastinal nodal tracer uptake.
