The authors report the case of a 34-year-old male, who underwent a fluorine-18 fluoro deoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan 7 years after trauma for the evaluation of multifocal masses in the right iliac and right inguinal areas. CT findings showed multifocal low density masses and F-FDG PET revealed slightly increased uptake (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax] 3.1).

Purpose: (18)F-FP-CIT [(18)F-fluorinated N-3-fluoropropyl-2-beta-carboxymethoxy-3-beta-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane] has been well established and used for the differential diagnosis of atypical parkinsonian disorders. Recently, combined positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) was proposed as a viable alternative to PET/computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study was to compare the performances of conventional (18)F-FP-CIT brain PET/CT and simultaneous PET/MR by visual inspection and quantitative analysis.

- - This study explores the relationship between two imaging techniques, PET and DWI, focusing on how they can provide simultaneous insights for rectal cancer diagnosis by using a hybrid PET/MR system.
- - Nine patients with rectal adenocarcinoma underwent both PET and MR scans to measure standardized uptake values (SUVs) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of their tumors, revealing key metrics for analysis.
- - Results indicated a strong inverse correlation between the metabolic activity (SUV) and water diffusion (ADC) in rectal cancer lesions, suggesting that higher metabolic activity corresponds to lower water diffusion, which could aid in cancer evaluation.
