18F-FDG PET/CT as non-inasive tool to assess transplanted pancreas graft rejection

Conclusions: Diagnoses of acute pancreas rejection can be suspected based on 18F-FDG PET/CT SUVmax and SUVmean, although further investigation is advocate because of the small sample size of the present study. Considering the significant decrease in SUV after treatment for rejection, a possible role of 18F-FDG PET/CT as a tool for monitoring response to treatment could be suggested.
