## Background: Positron emission tomography (pet) using (18)f-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (fdg) has been used for the evaluation of various tumors, but accumulation in inflammatory lesions makes it a controversial modality. the aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of delayed scanning in

## BACKGROUND. Patients who present with squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to cervical lymph nodes and no clinically apparent primary site present a therapeutic dilemma. Positron emission tomography imaging with 2-[F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose (FDG-PET) has been shown to be useful for the examina
## Objective: The 2-[(18)f]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron emission tomography (fdg-pet) technique provides information on uptake and metabolism of glucose in various tissues. compared with resting cells, activated lymphocytes take up radioactively labeled glucose analog at a higher rate, which
