  		FIGURE 1. Coronal 18F-FDG PET (A) and 18F-FLT PET (B) images of patient 3, diagnosed with primary laryngeal cancer. With both imaging modalities, uptake of the tracer in the laryngeal region can be observed. Maximum 18F-FDG SUV was 3.2, and maximum 18F-FLT SUV was 1.2. Physiologic 18F-FDG uptake can be seen in the muscles of the neck, and physiologic 18F-FLT uptake can be seen in the bone marrow of the ribs and sternum.
