Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography study in a 54-year-old female patient with polycystic kidney disease fever and abdominal discomfort. This figure illustrates coronal sections of the attenuation corrected PET, CT and PET/CT. Both kidneys are shown enlarged with multiple cysts and little remaining renal parenchyma. There is intense focal or ring-shaped FDG uptake in numerous cysts in the upper and lower poles of the left kidney indicative of active infection. There is also increased FDG uptake in para-aortic lymph nodes bilaterally. Multiple cysts are also present in the right kidney and in the liver that do not present increased FDG uptake. Physiologic FDG uptake by the stomach is visible on the left side
