Figure 1 A 38-year man, who had TACE 1 mo before, underwent PET/CT to monitor response to the treatment.
Contrast-enhanced arterial-phase axial CT image showed the mass with partial accumulation of iodized oil in the right lobe of the liver (arrows, A, B). A filling defect was detected in the left branch during the portal phases (arrow, C). PET and PET/CT fused images (arrows, D, E and F) revealed residual viable tumor and a highly metabolically active tumor thrombus in the left branch of the portal vein.
