Diffuse uptake of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) by the whole skeleton has been described in case of bone marrow stimulation resulting from treatment with colony-stimulating factors (CSFs): granulocyte CSF or granulocyte-macrophage CSF. The authors describe such an aspect of diffuse FDG uptake by the bone marrow during the follow-up of rectal cancer in a patient with anemia and recently treated thrice weekly by erythropoietin. To their knowledge, such an aspect of diffuse FDG uptake by the skeleton, revealing the bone marrow stimulation by erythropoietin, has not yet been reported.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph. Gamma Camera Imaging,Radioisotope Scanning,Scanning, Radioisotope,Scintigraphy,Scintiphotography,Imaging, Gamma Camera,Imaging, Radionuclide
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
