PET-CT of adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head

PET-CT of adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head
Coronal (A) and axial (B) images of an integrated PET/CT in a patient with a large adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas (A arrow). The axial image demonstrates a lesion in the liver that is highly suspicious for metastatic involvement (B arrow). Both the primary tumor and the metastatic lesion demonstrate increased uptake of the tracer fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).
PET: positron emission tomography; CT: computed tomography.
