摘要棕色脂肪组织（BAT）是许多哺乳动物（尤其是幼崽）的产热器官，通过产生热量来维持体温。BAT通常见于颈深、锁骨上、肩胛间和椎旁区域，以及大血管附近区域。如果未识别，BAT活性可显著干扰18 F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描（PET）/计算机断层扫描（CT）图像判读。BAT激活可受多种因素影响，并可通过不同方法降低。本文就BAT在FDG PET/CT扫描中的分布及影响BAT活性的因素作一综述。本文旨在提高儿科相关医师对PET/CT的认识。
Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) functions as a thermogenic organ by producing heat to maintain body temperature in many mammals, especially in the young. BAT is generally found in deep cervical, supraclavicular, interscapular, and paravertebral regions, as well as areas near large vessels. If not recognized, BAT activity can considerably interfere with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose position emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) image interpretation. BAT activation can be influenced by several factors and reduced by different methods. In this paper, we review BAT distribution and factors influencing BAT activity on FDG PET/CT scan. The purpose of this review is to enhance the recognition of pediatric-related physician of BAT on FDG PET/CT scan.
