摘要：
The invention relates to a method for avoiding that brown adipose tissue is stimulated due to low body temperatures. By avoiding such stimulation of the brown adipose tissue, unintended uptake of a radioactive glucose tracer in the brown adipose tissue may be minimized which may be important in PET imaging to avoid generation of false positive images. An embodiment of the invention suggests an apparatus (100) configured with a thermoregulation device (101) for heating e.g. the chest area and a controller (103) for controlling the thermoregulation device on the basis of a temperature reference (Tr) and measurements of the body temperature, e.g. a local body temperature (Tbm).
