Radiology for PET/CT Reporting

Reading PET/CT scans is sometimes challenging. Not infrequently, abnormal findings on CT images are functionally silent and therefore difficult for nuclear medicine practitioners to interpret. Furthermore, in general only a low-dose CT scan is produced as part of the combined PET/CT study, and the resulting CT images may prove suboptimal for image interpretation. This atlas is designed to enable nuclear medicine practitioners who routinely read PET/CT scans to recognize the most common CT abnormalities. Slice-by-slice descriptions are provided of anatomical structures as visualized on CT scans obtained in PET/CT studies. The CT findings that may be detected while reviewing PET/CT scans of various body regions and conditions are then illustrated and fully described. The concluding section of the book is devoted to the principal MRI findings in diseases which cannot be evaluated using PETs/CTs. ​ Preface 6 Contents 8 Chapter 1: Normal Anatomy 9 Chapter 2: Head and Neck 46 ⊡ Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma of the Respiratory Mucosa 47 ⊡ Subcutaneous Emphysema 48 Chapter 3: Thorax 49 ⊡ Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) 51 ⊡ Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) 52 ⊡ Right Superior Lobectomy Scarring 53 ⊡ Pneumothorax 54 ⊡ Bronchiectasis 55 ⊡ Mycotic Lung Infection 56 ⊡ Para-Aortic Arch Abscess 57 ⊡ Postsurgical Lung Changes 58 ⊡ Peribronchial Inflammation 59 ⊡ Asbestosis Pleural Plaques 60 ⊡ Pulmonary Sarcoidosis 61 ⊡ Klebsiella Pneumonia 62 ⊡ Pulmonary Hypertension 63 ⊡ Paraseptal Emphysema 65 ⊡ Centrilobular Emphysema 66 ⊡ Silicosis 67 ⊡ Lung Mosaic Attenuation 68 ⊡ Pulmonary Sarcoidosis 69 ⊡ Fibrothorax 70 ⊡ Pulmonary Hamartoma 71 ⊡ Radiation Pneumonitis 72 ⊡ Miliary Pulmonary Tuberculosis 73 ⊡ Accessory Azygos Lobe 74 ⊡ Respiratory Bronchiolitis 75 ⊡ Pulmonary Lymphoma 76 ⊡ Lung Cancer 77 ⊡ Pleural Mesothelioma 79 ⊡ Lung Metastases 80 ⊡ Carcinomatous Lymphangitis 81 ⊡ Lung Metastases in Colon Cancer 82 ⊡ Left Pulmonary Artery Angiosarcoma 83 ⊡ Miliary Pulmonary Metastases 84 ⊡ Carcinomatous Mastitis 85 ⊡ Lobular Breast Carcinoma 86 ⊡ Aorta Disease in Marfan Syndrome 87 ⊡ Thymoma 88 ⊡ Emphysematous Bulla 89 ⊡ Ground Glass 90 ⊡ Breast Cancer 91 ⊡ Atelectasis 92 ⊡ Acinar Adenocarcinoma of the Lung 93 ⊡ Thoracic Artery Aneurysm 94 ⊡ Lung Fibrosis 95 Chapter 4: Abdomen 96 ⊡ Renal Ectopia or Ectopic Kidney 98 ⊡ Renal Stone 99 ⊡ Polycystic Kidneys 100 ⊡ Renal Cancer 101 ⊡ Oncocytoma 102 ⊡ Lymphoma of the Kidney 103 ⊡ Hepatic Cysts 104 ⊡ Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) 105 ⊡ Focal Nodular Hyperplasia (FNH) 106 ⊡ Haepatic Haemangioma 107 ⊡ Metastatic Hepatocarcinoma 108 ⊡ Aerobilia 109 ⊡ Ascites in Cirrosis 110 ⊡ Sclerosing Cholangitis 111 ⊡ Lung Cancer Adrenal Metastasis 112 ⊡ Adrenal Adenoma in Lung Cancer Patient 113 ⊡ Bilateral Adrenal Hyperplasia 114 ⊡ Abdominal Aortic Aaneurysm (AAA) 115 ⊡ Vascular Calcifications 116 ⊡ Corda Coli 117 ⊡ Splenic Haematoma 118 ⊡ Cholecistitis 119 ⊡ Diverticular Disease 120 ⊡ Hiatal Hernia 121 ⊡ Linitis Plastica 122 ⊡ Omental Cake 123 Chapter 5: Pelvis 124 ⊡ Endometrial Carcinoma 125 ⊡ Groin Lymphadenopathy 126 ⊡ Cystic Teratoma of the Ovary 127 ⊡ Scrotal Herniation 128 ⊡ Bartholin Gland Cyst 129 ⊡ Lymphocele 130 ⊡ Calcifying Fibroma 131 Chapter 6: Musculoskeletal 132 ⊡ Osteoporotic Fractures of the Pelvis 134 ⊡ Osteoid Osteoma 135 ⊡ Lipoma 136 ⊡ Extramedullary Hematopoiesis (EMH) 137 ⊡ Vertebral Collapse 138 ⊡ Spina Bifida 139 ⊡ Vacuum Sign 140 ⊡ Spondylodiscitis 141 ⊡ Hip Infection 142 ⊡ Intraspongy Hernia 144 ⊡ Spine Hemangioma 145 ⊡ Hip Joint Osteoarthritis 146 ⊡ Sternal Plasmacytoma 147 ⊡ Multiple Myeloma 148 ⊡ Lytic Lesion of the Sacrum 149 ⊡ Schwannoma 150 ⊡ Neoplastic Skin Necrosis 151 ⊡ Metastatic Hepatocarcinoma 152 ⊡ Lymphoma of the Knee 153 ⊡ Septic Arthritis of the Knee 154 Front Matter....Pages i-vii Normal Anatomy....Pages 1-37 Head and Neck....Pages 39-41 Thorax....Pages 43-89 Abdomen....Pages 91-118 Pelvis....Pages 119-126 Musculoskeletal....Pages 127-149 Cristina Nanni, Stefano Fanti, Lucia Zanoni.
