What does hypermetabolic mean in regards to a node on a PET scan?
Hypermetabolic refers to an area that shows increased metabolic activity on a PET scan, typically indicated by higher uptake of the radioactive tracer used in the imaging.

Therefore, a hypermetabolic node may warrant further investigation to determine the underlying cause.
