hyperfixante

French to English Medical Medical (general) PET scan
Hi,
This is a full-body PET. I have the following:
"A l'étage cervico-thoracique absence de lésion hyperfixante au niveau des champs pulmonaires"
and
"Absence d'adénopathie hyperfixante sous diaphragmatique"
Thanks for your help
Joanna

Sue Davis Sep 28, 2023:
Hi Joanne, I think PET tracers are simply designed to bind to/be taken up by specific marker molecules whose expression is increased in a particular pathology. This gives an increased signal.

@Sue, @Liz, Thanks for your suggestions! I usually translate "hyperfixation" by "increased uptake," but this is usually in a region as is "hyperfixation thyroidienne" but it seemed strange to associate it with "lesion" or "lymphadenopathy"....
