AB Respiratory motion artifacts may affect interpretation of whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scans, especially when lesions are localized between the liver and the lung. 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.
