At least 6 h of fasting was kept in all patients before the PET/CT scan. Blood glucose levels were checked to be < 200 m/dl at the time of FDG injection (intravenous3.7–5.5 MBq/kg). After 60 min, images were acquired from combined PET/CT system (Biograph TruePoint; Siemens Medical Solutions, USA). The non-contrast enhanced CT was obtained from the orbitomeatal line to the proximal thigh (120 kVp, 50 mAs, 5-mm slice thickness), PET scan over the same body region followed.
