Fig. 26.1 In the MIP image a small right pulmonary nodule with restricted carbohydrate consumption is detected, of metastatic nature. The CT scan shows a right paramedian pelvic mass attributable to…

Fig. 30.1 The MIP image shows the extent of the disease in the pelvis and the intensity of the metabolic activity of the numerous metastatic masses. In this reconstruction, the pulmonary…

Fig. 27.1 Mass characterized by abnormal glucose consumption at the cervix, SUV max 12. This mass is in contiguity with the anterior wall of the rectum (arrow), infiltrates below the posterior…

Fig. 16.1 MIP image demonstrates the persistence of high metabolism of the hepatic lesion in the fifth segment. The other two secondary nodules do not appear in MIP reconstruction because they…

Fig. 22.1 The MIP image shows intense FDG deposition in an esophageal coarse lesion with mediastinal involvement. The use of PET-CT coronal reconstruction allows the definition of the precise location of…

Fig. 19.1 At the peri-anastomotic bowel loops, adjacent to the metal clips, CT-PET shows a heterogeneously hypodense portion of tissue, which has negligible carbohydrate consumption. It is associated with intense and…

Fig. 15.1 Multiple subcentimetric hepatic nodules Major ascites. Subcentimetric pulmonary nodule in the left anterior basal segment, with low metabolism, SUV max 0.8 (Fig. 15.2). Fig. 15.2 Subcentimetric pulmonary nodule in the left…

Fig. 20.1 In the celiac-mesenteric intercavo-aortic region, CT-PET demonstrates a solid mass with parenchymal density, uneven with irregular margins, not separable from the surrounding structures and characterized by limited concentration of…

Fig. 14.1 MIP image: presence of slight and widespread increase in the glucose consumption of the axial skeleton, typical of bone marrow rebound Modest increase in metabolism in the lower rectum-anus…
