摘要
Cardiac positron emission tomography with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) is often used for the diagnosis of cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis. Areas of segmental perfusion defects coupled with FDG uptake are considered to represent active inflammation. However, these findings may be associated with other inflammatory myocardial diseases. We describe a case of tuberculous myocarditis with imaging findings mimicking those found in cardiac sarcoidosis.
