Brief summary

It is important to evaluate the vaccine-related metabolic changes on FDG PET/CT to avoid confusing results. The investigators aimed to assess the frequency and intensity of regional and systemic metabolic PET/CT changes of patients who received the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2-Pfizer/BioNTech) and to analyze possible factors affecting these changes.
