We report a case study demonstrating the value of prone positioning in positron emission tomography (PET) of a woman with diagnosed breast cancer (BC) addressed to lumpectomy. Surgeon required (18)F-fluorodeoxiglucose ((18)F-FDG) PET study for staging and assessment of lymphnode involvement/metastasis prior to lumpectomy: a whole-body supine study and a prone acquisition of breast. Supine study revealed one lesion, while prone study revealed two lesions. Prone PET findings changed diagnosis and therapeutic intervention for patient who was subsequently subjected to quadrantectomy.
我们报告了一项病例研究，该研究证明了俯卧位在一名已诊断为乳腺癌（BC）且拟行肿块切除术的女性正电子发射断层扫描（PET）中的价值。外科医生要求在肿块切除术前进行（18）F-氟脱氧葡萄糖（（18）F-FDG）PET检查，以进行分期和评估淋巴结受累/转移情况：进行一次全身仰卧位检查和一次乳房俯卧位采集。仰卧位检查发现一个病灶，而俯卧位检查发现两个病灶。俯卧位PET检查结果改变了对该患者的诊断和治疗干预，该患者随后接受了象限切除术。
