Focal incidental colorectal fluorodeoxyglucose uptake: Should it be spotlighted?

Figure 1 Diffuse physiological bowel fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake. Images depicting fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the bowel. A: Diffuse intestinal uptake observed in a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma; B: Regions of hypermetabolism are highlighted in the hepatic flexure area and descending colon of a 51-year-old woman with a history of gastric cancer. Colonoscopy examination yielded no evidence of abnormalities such as tumors or inflammation, confirming the physiological nature of the observed bowel uptake.
