🎗️🔥 FDG-PET/CT can reveal much more than the primary oncologic question.

This case of recurrent breast cancer demonstrated expected hypermetabolic disease on FDG-PET… but also incidentally uncovered 🚨 pneumoperitoneum secondary to diverticulitis — a potentially life-threatening finding requiring urgent attention.

💡 Incidental findings on molecular imaging can significantly alter immediate patient management and outcomes.

ISMRM: PET/MRI-guided treatment reduces low back pain This study is the first to acquire follow-up FDG-PET/MRI scans after treatment to assess the correlation between clinical outcome and FDG uptake.

🩻 Urinary bladder paraganglioma on Gallium Ga 68 dotatate PET/CT — a rare neuroendocrine tumor entity.

✨ The intense somatostatin receptor expression on DOTATATE PET/CT beautifully highlights the lesion and demonstrates the power of molecular imaging in characterizing uncommon bladder tumors.

🔬 Not every hypervascular bladder mass is urothelial carcinoma. Functional imaging can provide critical diagnostic clues and help guide patient management.
