Abnormal intra-aneurysmal FDG activity incidentally detected on SiPM-based PET/CT is worthy of attention because it may be indicative of endoleaks. Additional imaging using different modalities should be considered so that the patient would not miss the additional treatment opportunity upon observing sac enlargement. For patients with contraindications for iodine CT contrast media, SiPM-based PET/CT would serve as a suitable alternative.
