Figure 1. Maximum intensity projection images of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans performed in June 2020 (A) and December 2020 (1B). No FDG-avid lesions suggestive of malignancy were identified in either scan. The high metabolism of the tracer in the brain (green arrows, A, B) and in the heart (red arrow, A) is physiologic. Imaging was conducted using the Advantage Workstation for Diagnostic Imaging (GE; AW4.6_05.003_SLED_11; GIMP 2.10 General Public License).
