Figure 7a — Complementary roles of CT and PET in depicting metastatic disease in a 63-year-old man with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who underwent chemotherapy. (a) Axial contrast-enhanced multidetector CT image shows obvious peritoneal disease around the stomach and abdominal wall (arrowheads). No appreciable liver lesions are seen against a background of reduced liver attenuation, a result of chemotherapy-induced steatosis. (b) Fused FDG PET/CT image shows two large FDG-avid metastatic areas in the liver (arrows). The obvious peritoneal implants are not FDG avid. A focal area of increased radiotracer uptake (arrowhead) is also seen, a result of misregistration from the splenic flexure.
