The findings of DNI with DNM on FDG PET/CT were as follows: as an acute infection, DNM showed more severe uptake relative to the average maximum standardized uptake value of brown fat or physiologic muscle; showed the prevertebral uptake pattern rather than the paravertebral uptake pattern of brown fat; and showed continuous patterns of hypermetabolic lesions from the retropharyngeal/parapharyngeal space to the thoracic prevertebral space.
