Artificial intelligence to improve detection. A graphical illustration of the typical dynamics of an immune response upon a trigger, with rapid increase, associated with increased glycolysis in effector cells which can be measured by [18F]FDG PET and expressed as maximum or mean standardized uptake values (SUVmax/mean). As soon as the causative trigger is cleared, inflammatory responses also include repair processes to gradually return to a state of tissue homeostasis
