18F-FDG PET/CT in Renal Infections: Evidence of Acute Pyelonephritis in a Horseshoe Kidney.
2017
: A 58-year-old paraplegic patient was prescribed F-FDG for persistent inflammatory syndrome after aortic surgery for dissection. The examination was performed on a Siemens mCT Flow PET/CT and shows a moderate prostate uptake, related to prostatitis on self-catheterization and a focal renal cortical hypermetabolism of the left medial midpole of a horseshoe kidney, which corresponds to renal parenchyma on the CT, and suggests pyelonephritis, confirmed by Tc-DMSA SPECT/CT.
