Description of Brown Fat

Brief summary

The aim of this study is to investigate aspects of brown fat in scanner with injection via the PET-CT study.

Detailed description

Brown fat is metabolically active adipose tissue. It can be responsible in PET-CT of a fixation of 18-FDG and a look of pseudo-infiltration of fat. These aspects can be sources of false positives. The objective here is to gain a better knowledge of the scanner in areas of brown fat.
