## Abstract ## Objective Erdheim‐Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non–Langerhans' cell histiocytosis. The aim of this study was to assess the value of whole‐body scanning with ^18^F‐fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) in a large cohort of ECD patients from a single cen
## Background: [f-18]fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg)-positron emission tomography (pet) can measure the metabolic activity of tissues; fdg-pet may be able to predict response to chemotherapy by identifying changes in tumor metabolism. measurement of response to treatment may help improve survival in the m
