AI Article Synopsis

  • Dual-tracer PET/CT using F-FDG and C-acetate is effective for diagnosing liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma.
  • A case study is presented involving gastric adenocarcinoma that has spread to the liver, showing positive results with both tracers.
  • This case emphasizes the rare visual findings in dual-tracer PET/CT imaging for diagnosing metastatic cancers.

Article Abstract

Dual-tracer F-FDG and C-acetate PET/CT has been shown to demonstrate good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. We present a case of gastric adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis with positive uptake of F-FDG and C-acetate highlighting an unusual appearance in dual-tracer PET/CT.
