Dual-Tracer PET/CT Using 18F-FDG and 11C-Acetate in Gastric Adenocarcinoma With Liver Metastasis

Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Nov;41(11):864-865. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001381.

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.
