Abstract:
Rib and sternal fractures are relatively common following conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This case demonstrates the 18F-FDG PET/CT appearances of typical CPR-related multiple rib and sternal fractures in a 55-year-old man with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis. The PET/CT scan was performed to assess disease activity of cardiac sarcoidosis, and no active cardiac inflammation was detected. The patient initially presented with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and successfully received bystander CPR.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
