Excerpt

Dynamic PET/CT scanning of the liver was performed in two patients with liver metastases. On CT (a), contrast-enhancing lesions were seen. Early (0–2 min after injection) PET images (b) showed decreased FDG uptake by the metastases compared to the normal liver. Late (35–40 min after injection) PET images (c) showed no FDG uptake in the necrotic centre and increased uptake in perinecrotic tumour areas. …
