(18)F-FDG PET/CT is a valuable noninvasive tool in oncologic imaging, and its application in the diagnosis of liver metastases has been very convincing. Both the sensitivity and the specificity of (18)F-FDG PET/CT are high for detecting liver metastases from various tumors including colorectal, breast, and lung. Such liver metastases are typically (18)F-FDG-avid. We present atypical (18)F-FDG PET findings in a lung cancer patient with known liver metastases and PVT.
(18)F - FDG PET/CT是肿瘤成像中一种有价值的非侵入性工具,其在肝转移瘤诊断中的应用已非常令人信服。(18)F - FDG PET/CT检测包括结直肠癌、乳腺癌和肺癌等各种肿瘤的肝转移瘤时,敏感性和特异性均较高。此类肝转移瘤通常摄取(18)F - FDG。我们展示了一名已知有肝转移瘤和门静脉血栓形成的肺癌患者的非典型(18)F - FDG PET表现。
