FDG PET/CT Findings in an Asymptomatic Case of Confirmed COVID-19.

Abstract:

:In the current and rapidly worsening pandemic, patients with COVID-19 may undergo imaging with FDG PET/CT. Because a significant proportion of infected patients may be asymptomatic, incidental discovery on a PET/CT scan performed for unrelated reasons can occur. Because of the highly infectious nature of this agent, it is important that interpreting physicians be aware of the typical imaging findings to identify potentially affected patients. We present the case of an asymptomatic patient referred for FDG PET/CT imaging of a lung nodule who demonstrated the typical CT findings of COVID-19 infection and was subsequently found to be positive on testing.

  • Tc-99m isonitrile uptake in a brain metastatic lesion. Comparison with Tc-99m DTPA using planar and SPECT imaging.

    abstract::Tc-99m isonitrile uptake in a metastatic brain tumor is demonstrated using planar and SPECT imaging. Comparison with Tc-99m DTPA shows a different distribution pattern and uptake intensity, suggesting a different mechanism for both tracers. It is possible that Tc-99m CPI could reflect metabolic activity of the tumor c...
