18F-FDG uptake and CT lung attenuation (edema) in the lungs of control and LPS-treated rats. 18F-FDG activity between animals was normalized to dose injected and body weight.

Control 2h post LPS 6h post LPS 24h post LPS
18F-FDG Bq/ml mean 28.78 49.00 66.34 78.80
18F-FDG Bq/ml +/− standard error 1.47 3.91 10.84 10.26
18F-FDG LPS vs control, p < 0.002 0.012 < 0.002
