Nucl. Med. Technol.2006 Jun 01; 34 AB - A 51-y-old man underwent 18F-FDG PET for disease restaging of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Initial attenuation correction images demonstrated unilateral hemispheric cerebral hypometabolic activity. The remainder of the scan was otherwise unremarkable. Non–attenuation correction images demonstrated a patient motion artifact attributable to lateral movement of the patient's head during image acquisition. Subsequent repeat 18F-FDG PET showed normal cerebral cortical activity.
