Figure 2 11C-choline positron-emission tomography-computed tomography detected a tumor that was missed on conventional 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography in a 58-year-old patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. A-D: 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) showed that there was no increased 18F-FDG uptake in the liver; E-H: 11C-choline (11C-CHOL) PET-CT showed focal increased 11C-CHOL uptake in the upper segment of the anterior lobe of the liver, and the size of the lesion was 1.2 × 1.3 cm (blue arrow in F and G). Pathological examination confirmed well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. 18F-FDG: 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose; CT: Computed tomography; PET: Positron-emission tomography; 11C-CHOL: 11C-choline.
