Figure 2. Apart from the primary tumor, PET Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) image shows increased 18F-FDG uptake along the left lateral border of the heart (A, bold arrow) along with two foci of increased 18F-FDG uptake in left hemipelvis (arrows). Other foci of benign FDG uptake (broken arrows) on MIP image were seen in left supraclavicular region (central venous line), right hemithorax (right lung infection) and ascending colon (normal colonoscopy).Transaxial 18F-FDG PET (B) and contrast enhanced 18F-FDG PET-CT (C) show moderate pericardial effusion with increased 18F-FDG uptake in pericardium (arrow) likely infiltration (SUVmax-5.1). Minimal right pleural effusion is also noted. Transaxial CT (D) and 18F-FDG PET-CT (E) show a sclerotic lesion in left iliac bone (arrow) with increased 18F-FDG uptake (SUVmax-4.5). Transaxial CT (F) and 18F-FDG PET-CT (G) show another focus of increased 18F-FDG uptake in left ala of sacrum (SUVmax-3.7) with minimal sclerosis on CT (arrow).
