March 6, 2024
A 60-year-old male patient with clinical suspicion of lung cancer. PET/CT scan showed FDG-avid pulmonary nodules in the upper lobe of the left lung (red arrow), with a size of 2.2 × 1.3 cm, SUVmax of 12.2, Ki-65 min of 0.016 ml/g/min, and Ki-30 min of 0.014 ml/g/min. Surgical pathology confirmed a granulomatous lesion. In addition, PET/CT scan showed many FDG-avid lung nodules in the mediastinum. (A, static PET maximum intensity projection; B, static PET SUV image; C, static PET/CT fusion image; D, dynamic PET Ki-65 min image; E, dynamic PET Ki-30 min image). Image courtesy of EJNMMI Physics.
