- FIGURE 1.
Numbers of patients with BAT between warmed and not-warmed cohorts, highlighting impact of warming overall and on men and women, respectively.
- FIGURE 2.
A 28-y-old man with desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor presented in October 2009 for initial 18F-FDG PET study (left) and subsequently in January 2010 (right). Both studies used approximately 270 MBq of 18F-FDG and were obtained after 60-min uptake phase. Initial image was obtained without warming techniques. Follow-up image was obtained with warming intervention. Apart from disease progression, presence and absence of significant BAT accumulation is noted.
