Résumé
CT signs that are evocative of lung COVID-19 infections have been extensively described, whereas F-FDG-PET signs have not. Our current study aimed to identify specific COVID-19 F-FDG-PET signs in patients that were (i) suspected to have a lung infection based on F-FDG-PET/CT recorded during the COVID-19 outbreak and (ii) whose COVID-19 diagnosis was definitely established or excluded by appropriate viral testing.
