FIGURE 1. (Top) Transverse images from the first MS (left), second MS (middle), and third MS (right) of a patient with colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the hilum of the left lung. The metastasis partially responded to FOLFOX chemotherapy (survival was 712 d). PMod software evaluated the PET images, which are standardized and can be compared visually (SUV images). (Bottom) Corresponding time–activity curves. Yellow = 18F-FDG kinetics in metastasis; purple = 18F-FDG kinetics in an artery. Corresponding 18F-FDG kinetic data are in Table 1.
