Description
Liu Yang and colleagues investigated unexpected lung signals on a hormone imaging scan in a 2026 retrospective review. The tracer pentixafor is used to locate adrenal overactivity in people with suspected primary aldosteronism, yet bright spots kept appearing in the lungs.
Among 217 patients scanned by PET/CT or PET/MR, 37, or 17 percent, showed lung uptake. Rates and blood-pool readings were similar between the two scanner types. The authors set out to measure how common the finding is and what might cause it. Incidental signals can trigger needless worry or extra tests, so knowing their frequency helps readers interpret these scans calmly.
