Positron emission tomography (PET) with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has evolved as a useful imaging modality in the assessment of a variety of cancers, especially for tumor staging and post treatment monitoring. It provides metabolic information. Although, when used alone, relative lack of anatomic landmarks, is a major limitation of PET imaging, this limitation of PET imaging is overcome by the availability of integrated PET/CT imaging. PET and CT images are acquired in one procedure, yielding fused anatomical and functional data sets. Studies with integrated PET/CT imaging have shown promising results. In this case, we present an interesting integrated PET/CT imaging in a lung cancer patient with rare, diaphragm and thyroid cartilage metastases.

使用F-18氟脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）的正电子发射断层扫描（PET）已发展成为评估多种癌症的一种有用的成像方式，特别是用于肿瘤分期和治疗后监测。它提供代谢信息。尽管单独使用时，相对缺乏解剖标志是PET成像的一个主要限制，但PET/CT集成成像的出现克服了PET成像的这一限制。PET和CT图像在一个程序中采集，产生融合的解剖和功能数据集。PET/CT集成成像的研究已显示出有前景的结果。在此，我们展示了一例肺癌患者伴有罕见的膈肌和甲状软骨转移的有趣的PET/CT集成成像病例。
