To determine the prevalence of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) on CT and its metabolic pattern on 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET). Method and materials: Eight hundred two CT PET scans were reviewed. Patients were included if the interatrial septum was > or = 1 cm and excluded if there was evidence of malignancy in the adjacent lung, hilum, or mediastinum. CT scans were fused with PET scans, and the mean standardized uptake value (SUV) was calculated over the LHIS, chest wall (CW) fat, and mediastinal blood pool. CT scans were reviewed for presence of excessive fat in the mediastinum, pericardial, peridiaphragmatic, peritoneal, and retroperitoneal regions and for the presence of emphysema. Medical records were reviewed for body mass index (BMI) and history of arrhythmia.
