Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • FIGURE 1.
    FIGURE 1.

    18F-FDG PET maximum-intensity projection (MIP, left) shows bilateral symmetric uptake in neck and in supraclavicular and axillary regions, corresponding to low-density fatty tissue on transverse images at supraclavicular level (right), consistent with BAT physiologic 18F-FDG uptake.

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    18F-FDG PET maximum-intensity projections in anterior and lateral projections (left) show new bilateral intense tracer uptake in breast compared with Figure 1. Transverse images (right) demonstrate dense breast glandular tissue corresponding to active breast-feeding status.
