A hypermetabolic area is one that is using nutrients faster than others. The clinical meaning of this finding depends on the reason the study was done. Your health care provider has information on the type of study and its purpose that you did not provide in your question.

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. In the context of a lymph node, this can suggest the presence of conditions such as infection, inflammation, or malignancy, as cancerous tissues often exhibit elevated metabolic rates. Therefore, a hypermetabolic node may warrant further investigation to determine the underlying cause.
