Figure 4 A 48-year man who had HCC resection 2 mo before the imaging, followed by TACE 40 d later.
PET and PET/CT fused images revealed highly metabolic lesions (arrows, A-C). Both contrast-enhanced axial CT imaging and arteriography failed to show lesions in the right lobe of the liver (arrows, D-F). These findings of PET/CT were later verified as inflammatory by post-operative tissue examination.
