Figure 2 Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET).
A, B: Abdominal CT scan revealed an irregular thickening of the wall of the gallbladder body on the hepatic side. The border between the thickened gallbladder wall and liver parenchyma was indistinct; C, D: FDG-PET/CT scan showed increased activity in the thickened wall of the gallbladder. The increased uptake area appeared to extend into the liver parenchyma.
