Initial and Final Review Results of Patients Discussed at Joint Session in London
| Patient no. | Initial review (positive/negative) | Final review (positive/negative) | Reason for disagreement | Consensus after discussion |
| 025 | 3/3 | 0/6 | Focal left parotid uptake (adenoma or residual disease?) | Left parotid adenoma (confirmed by fine-needle aspiration) |
| 168 | 3/3 | 0/6 | Sternum (healing process or residual disease?) | Healing of pathologic fracture |
| 215 | 3/3 | 0/6 | Liver or gut uptake? | “Liver” uptake due to misregistered physiologic gut uptake |
| 229 | 3/3 | 6/0 | Left cervical node (positive or negative?) | 18F-FDG uptake in residual node higher than liver despite very low liver uptake (maximum standardized uptake value, 1.7) |
| 231 | 3/3 | 6/0 | Subcarinal node or cardiac uptake? | Subcarinal node |
| 242 | 3/3 | 6/0 | Left humerus (diseased or not?) | Baseline and interim PET scans performed with different arm positions (measuring distance of lesion from humeral head, reviewers concurred there was true focal uptake in bone marrow present on baseline and on interim scans higher than uptake in normal liver) |
| 247 | 3/3 | 2/4 | Sternum (healing process or residual disease?) | Healing of pathologic fracture |
| 293 | 3/3 | 0/6 | Cervical node or brown fat? | Brown fat |
