A 58-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of mouth underwent surgical planning for tumor resection and floor of mouth reconstruction. Unexpectedly, preoperative cervico-thoracic computed tomography (CT) indicated possible right ventricular intramural thrombosis, prompting initiation of unfractionated heparin. Follow-up echocardiography revealed no thrombus reduction, raising concerns of intracardiac metastasis.

Background: Inadequate myocardial glucose metabolism suppression (GMS) can hamper interpretation of cardiac [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET/CT). Use of β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) measurement before [F]FDG injection has been proposed for predicting adequate GMS. However, limited information is available on BHB measurement in guiding preparations for [F]FDG-PET/CT.

Amyloidosis and sarcoidosis are systemic diseases that affect multiple organ systems. Accurate diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis and sarcoidosis is particularly important because cardiac involvement can be fatal. Amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibrils, and cardiac amyloidosis is classified into amyloid immunoglobulin light chain (AL) and amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) types.

Background: With appropriate protocols, F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can visualize myocardial inflammation. Optimal protocols and normative myocardial FDG uptake values are not well-established.
Methods: We evaluated 111 patients referred for inflammation cardiac FDG PET/CT.
