A 49-year-old female with thymic carcinoma (Masaoka stage Ⅲ). CT, PET and fusion images show strong FDG uptake in anterior mediastinal tumor (arrows). PET parameters were as follows; 7.1 for SUVmax, 396.5 for MTV, and 1181.6 for TLG. A: CT. B: PET. C: fusion image. CT, computed tomography; MTV, metabolic tumor volume; PET, positron emission tomography; SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value; TLG, total lesion glycolytic activity.
