Figure 5 Axila image of F18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography obtained 3 mo postoperatively in a 77-year-old woman had history of right breast cancer.
There were a few FDG avid right axillary lymph nodes, the largest 1.6 cm with SUV 5.1 (arrows), all new compared to prior images. The findings were highly suspicious for regional nodal metastases. Subsequent biopsy was indicative of reactive lymphadenitis. SUV: Standardized uptake value.
