Incidental colorectal FDG uptake on PET/CT scan and lesions observed during subsequent colonoscopy: a systematic review

ConclusionsIncidental colorectal FDG uptake, as evaluated by subsequent colonoscopy, often reveals neoplastic lesions. Predominantly, lesions were located at the same location as FDG uptake. Further investigation is warranted before recommending that incidental colorectal FDG uptake should always result in referral to diagnostic colonoscopy.
