Abstract

A 74-year-old man with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT to evaluate the response to chemotherapy. Although granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was incidentally administered 1 hour before FDG administration, bone marrow FDG accumulation did not increase compared with the previous 18F-FDG PET/CT examination without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration. The mean SUVmax of 12 thoracic and 5 lumbar vertebrae was 2.55 (range, 2.14-3.36) and 3.19 (range, 2.49-4.28) in the present and previous examinations, respectively.
