Cardiac and pericardial tumors: A potential application of positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 4 Localization and characterization of abnormal fluorodeoxygluocse activity adjacent to the heart. A: Axial Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT shows a focal intense radiotracer uptake adjacent to the heart with difficulty to accurately localize; patient is known to have history of ileocecal area carcinoid and underwent surgery; B: Coronal first pass perfusion images show highly vascular lesion in the tip of the left lobe of the liver corresponding to abnormal radiotracer uptake, this location is very common for PET-CT misregistration and there was no focal lesion identified in CT component of PET-CT. PET: Positron emission tomography; CT: Computed tomography; FDG: Fluorodeoxygluocse.
