This study highlights how F-FDG PET/CT can detect primary lung cancer in a patient with brain metastasis. It also reveals how hemiparesis affects muscle metabolism and F-FDG uptake.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Medicine
- Oncology
- Neurology
Background:
- Brain metastasis diagnosis in a 51-year-old man.
- Acute right-sided hemiparesis as a presenting symptom.
- The need for primary tumor detection.
