AI Article Synopsis
- A 54-year-old man with a history of colorectal cancer underwent two types of PET/CT scans to check for liver metastases, following previous imaging that indicated potential issues.
- Both 18 F-FDG and 18 F-FAPI-04 PET/CT scans revealed increased uptake in liver metastases, with 18 F-FDG also detecting a nodule in the lung.
- An incidental finding was made with 18 F-FAPI-04 showing increased activity in the L3 vertebra, which previous scans suggest might be a hemangioma, but it didn't show uptake with 18 F-FDG.
Article Abstract
A 54-year-old man with a history of colectomy for colorectal cancer and subsequent liver metastasectomy underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT and 18 F-FAPI-04 PET/CT scans to evaluate possible hepatic metastasis revealed by contrast-enhanced MRI. Both studies showed similarly increased uptake in liver metastases, and 18 F-FDG detected a metastatic lung nodule. Furthermore, the images showed an incidental finding of increased uptake of 18 F-FAPI-04 in the L3 vertebral, which was not 18 F-FDG-avid. A review of the patient's previous CT and MRI scans suggests vertebral hemangioma.
