There are several conceivable advantages of F-18 FDG PET/CT over conventional imaging. Image A and B showing an example of the distinctive capability of the F-18 FDG PET/CT. A shows a fusion image of F-18 FDG PET/CT and low-dose CT and B an high resolution chest CT of a patient with an Aspergillus infection. The suspected aspergilloma is concealed on the high resolution CT due to the lung fluids and consolidation. Image C and D (fusion image of F-18 FDG PET/CT and low-dose CT and low-dose CT only, respectively) are examples of the ability to image inflammation while no concurrent abnormalities are visualized, in this case prostatitis (red arrows). Image E, a maximized intensity projection of F-18 FDG PET, shows a patient with lung infections and multiple muscle abscesses after MRSA sepsis. This is an illustrative example of a relevant dissemination investigation.

1Each lung has been split into three parts. Each area has been given a score between 0 and 3. Score values are shown in Ultrasonograms to match 4 different patterns. During a longitudinal scan with a high-resolution linear probe, pictures of patterns were taken. The scores are as follows: 0 means A pattern, 1 means B pattern, 2 means severe B pattern, and 3 means extended consolidation.

(A) Representative maximum-intensity projection and selected PET/CT images (fused, PET and CT only) of patient with metastatic prostate cancer at 1 hour after injection. (B and C) Low uptake of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 in salivary and submandibular glands is also demonstrated. (D) Images show heterogeneous uptake of Ga-68 PSMA-R2 with varying degrees of intensity in multiple spine bone lesions (vertebral sclerotic lesion with intense PSMA-R2 expression at its periphery indicated with red arrow).
