We report a case of a patient with breast cancer who underwent PET/CT after therapy and in whom focal 18F-FDG uptake of equivocal interpretation was observed between the liver and the pleura. A subsequent imaging acquisition of the right lateral decubitus showed that the lesion had a pleural location, thus improving the diagnostic accuracy of the PET/CT finding.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/49/1/84}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/49/1/84.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
