Figure 2 Incidental anal ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake. A: An incidental anal ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in 1 study patient with hemo rrhoidal disease that required medical treatment (standardized uptake value max = 18.1); B: An incidental anal ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in 1 study patient without proctological diagnosis (standardized uptake value max = 4.9); C: An incidental anal ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in 1 study patient with hemorrhoidal disease that did not require treatment (standardized uptake value max = 8.8).
