Figures
- FIGURE 1.
Myocardial uptake levels compared with liver, in categories 0, 1, and 2.
- FIGURE 2.
Transverse 18F-FDG PET slice (A), corresponding transverse CT slice (B), coronal 18F-FDG PET slice (C), and corresponding coronal CT slice (D). The irregular increased 18F-FDG uptake in ventral portion of pericardium adjacent to right ventricular wall would not have been recognized in the otherwise moderate to high 18F-FDG uptake ventral in right ventricular wall. Both transverse and coronal CT slices show thickened pericardium ventral in right ventricular wall, up to 8 mm.
