Abstract:
A 62-year-old woman with right-sided invasive lobular breast carcinoma completed external beam radiotherapy 6 weeks before undergoing a 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT and 18 F-fluciclovine PET/CT scan as part of an ongoing clinical trial (NCT04750473) assessing the performance of these molecular imaging modalities in invasive lobular breast carcinoma. The 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT demonstrated a band-like area of increased radiotracer uptake in the dome of the right lobe of the liver anteriorly, whereas 18 F-fluciclovine PET/CT done a day later revealed photopenia in the corresponding area of the liver. The external beam radiotherapy plan confirmed that the radiotherapy field overlaid the region of the hepatic discordant radiotracer uptake on the PET/CT scans.

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...
