cord-307208-tw6mwa5v	Cabrera Villegas, Antonio	[(18)F]-FDG PET/CT in oncologic patients with unsuspected asymptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2	2020-09-16		.txt	text/plain	3341	167	50	The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyse the incidence of suspicious imaging findings of COVID-19 in PET/CT performed in asymptomatic patients referred to our Department with oncologic indications. Inclusion criteria were the following: (a) outpatients referred to Nuclear Medicine for whole-body PET/CT, (b) with [ 18 F]-FDG or [ 18 F]-fluorocholine, (c) referral was due only to oncologic indications, and (d) patients were asymptomatic for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The limitations in the diagnosis of COVID-19, together with the fact that most of the patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or present scarce symptoms, were the reason for initiating this retrospective study analysing patients scanned with PET/CT in which there were suspicious lung findings for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our results confirm that the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection is higher than the known figures, due to the relevant proportion of asymptomatic patients, some of them with lung disease, which can be diagnosed in a presymptomatic phase based on the incidental imaging findings in imaging procedures performed for completely different clinical indications.	./cache/cord-307208-tw6mwa5v.txt	./txt/cord-307208-tw6mwa5v.txt
