The paper gives an overview of the literature data on uptake of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) into the different tissue lesions which may occur in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly called Wegener's syndrome). It discusses the cellular mechanisms of such (18)F-FDG uptake, which provide a basis for its interpretation in the context of (18)F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) for inflammatory conditions.
