Increased lung [18F]-FDG uptake in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with distal involvement

Patients with distal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) show greater FDG lung uptake on PET scans than those with proximal disease, suggesting a proliferative microvasculopathy. These findings support further investigation on the role of PET/CT in characterising CTEPH.
