These findings support further investigation on the role of PET/CT in characterising CTEPH.10 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc (c) Osorio, Jeisson et al., 2025https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Tomografia per emissió de positronsPulmóHipertensió pulmonarPositron emission tomographyLungPulmonary hypertensionIncreased lung [18F]-FDG uptake in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with distal involvementinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7624082026-01-26info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess41198392
