A Single Case Study of Hypermetabolism
A Single Case Study of Hypermetabolism
In the Metabolic Disorder clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children, the investigators
 identified a male, proband with possible Luft's disease. The investigators hypothesize that
 Luft's disease is caused by excess or dysregulation of brown/beige fat tissue.

 To address the hypothesis, the investigators would like to assess brown fat distribution and
 activity in this subject.
The subject will undergo a fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission
 tomography/computed tomography (18F FDG PET/CT) at the Diagnostic Imaging unit of The
 Hospital for Sick Children.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Diagnosis of hypermetabolism, possible Luft's disease.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  None
