241646 Introduction: Challenging in both initial staging work-up and follow-up, the precise
diagnosis of pericardial metastasis using positron emission tomography/computed …

Lung cancer is currently one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Among all
metastatic sites of this cancer, cardiac metastases are exceptional, and long-term prognosis …

BACKGROUND Interpretation of cardiac uptake on 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron
emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is often confounded by …

This is the case of a 46-year-old man with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The patient
was initially studied with a conventional contrast enhanced CT scan that revealed a lung …

Cardiac and pericardial masses represent a rare, but large spectrum of different entities with
variable morbidity and mortality. 1 Beside intra-cardiac thrombi, calcifications, and …

Background Considering the few reported cardiac masses, PET/CT in the imaging workup of
cardiac masses is not well established. This retrospective study analyzed the role of 18 F …

Background Cardiac uptake on oncologic FDG PET/CT can be unpredictable. Focal or mass-
like cardiac uptake not confined to normal pattern is a real challenge for interpretation due to …

A right heart metastasis of a small-cell lung cancer was found on the whole-body 18 F-fluoro-
deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18 F-FDG-PET/CT) of …

566 Objectives Cardiac tumors are rare. Non-invasive determination of the malignancy of
newly diagnosed cardiac tumors is of major merit. To date there are few cases reported …

Patients undergoing 2-[fluorine 18] fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) whole-body oncologic
positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) are studied while fasting …
