Axial (A) and Coronal (B) CTPA show multiple partial intraluminal filling defects along the course of the right middle lobar segmental branches (medial segment) (yellow arrow) and lower lobar and postero-medial segmental branches (green arrow). Note the low-signal filling defects on the axial and coronal 0.55T MRI sequence.

Myocardial involvement. Representative examples show fused PET/MRI images in patients with findings suggestive of myocarditis. (A and B) Short-axis view of increased F-18 FDG uptake in basal septum segments (A), colocalized with area of increased T2 values (B) on parametric mapping. (C and D) Prominent F-18 FDG uptake in middle anterolateral and inferolateral walls (C), matching area of increased T1 values (D). (E and F) Short-axis views of avid F-18 FDG uptake in basal inferior and inferolateral walls (E), matching areas of increased extracellular volume (F). SUV scale is 0-5 g/mL.
