Fig. 51.1 CT scan shows multiple bone thickening lesions. The PET characterizes the lesions with a high metabolism of glucose. This information must be critically assessed Fig. 51.2 The PET-CT scan shows…

Fig. 47.1 CT shows that the structural alteration is of benign type No areas of abnormal FDG deposition in other parts of the body examined. 47.4 Conclusions The PET scan shows…

Fig. 46.1 PET-CT: in the upper quadrants of the left breast a rough solid, irregular lesion, with modest increases in glucose metabolism is detected. Intense consumption of FDG at the level…

Fig. 48.1 Modest increase in metabolism at the surgical scar on the right chest, SUV max 1.6 48.4 Conclusions The PET scan revealed no significant focal areas characterized by pathological consumption…

Fig. 79.1 The PET scan shows bone, lung and lymph node secondary disease due to disseminated urothelial carcinoma Fig. 79.2 The CT-PET shows multiple pulmonary solid metastatic nodules (a); only two have…

Fig. 69.1 At the posterior segment of the upper lobe of the left lung, CT-PET shows a parenchymal nodule with ill-defined margins, at the basis of the parietal pleura, that seems…

Fig. 37.1 a. Smaller swollen lymph-nodes are adjacent to the aortic arch. b. No focal lesions Chemotherapy is thus performed. 37.2 Diagnostic Question Search of focal lesions with high metabolism of…

Fig. 74.1 The PET scan shows pathological glucose consumption in a suspected focal lesion at the anterior wall of the gastric stump EGDS was repeated and the biopsy showed an undifferentiated…

Fig. 36.1 On CT-PET, two hyperdense pleural plaques in the left upper lobe and in the cardio-phrenic ipsilateral area due to previous pleurectomy and talc pleurodesis are shown. The high metabolism…

Fig. 41.1 MIP reconstruction: there are no focal lesions with a high glucose uptake, in particular the mediastinal mass shows metabolic activity comparable to that of the liver Fig. 41.2 The PET-CT…
