Abstract:
We present a rare case of focal F-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the liver observed during a modified dual-time-point F-18 FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), so-called early delayed scanning, in a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with breast cancer. This metastatic lesion was revealed in 80 min delayed images after FDG injection, but not in the usual one-hour images after injection. Modified dual-time-point F-18 FDG PET/CT is convenient because compared to the 2 h delayed images of dual-time-point PET/CT, it has a shorter scanning time and avoids additional radiation exposure.
