Incidental 18 F-FDG uptake in the colon: value of contrast-enhanced CT correlation with colonoscopic findings

ConclusionBy analyzing additional morphological changes in contrast-enhanced CT imaging, the specificity of focal colonic18F-FDG uptake for precancerous and cancerous lesions can be increased but leads to a considerate loss of sensitivity. Therefore, every focal colonic uptake should be followed up by colonoscopy.
