Evaluation of physiological Waldeyer ’s ring, mediastinal blood pool, thymic, bone marrow, splenic and hepatic activity with 18F-FDG PET/CT: exploration of normal range among pediatric patients

In a significant number of studies, L activity may impede evaluation of treatment response in comparison with MBP or inflammation/infection evaluation in comparison with S.
