Figure 2. PET scan showing (in magenta) the following: (A) Increased FDG uptake indicative of inflammation or pathology along the left main bronchus extending to the left lower lobe bronchi. (B) The largest pulmonary nodule in the left lower lobe showing significant metabolic activity, as evidenced by its avid FDG uptake. (C) Bilateral hilar nodes with enhanced FDG uptake, suggesting active lymphatic involvement. (D) Localized FDG uptake at the level of the thoracic inlet, associated with nodular thickening of the right trachea, indicating a potential inflammatory or neoplastic process. (E) Unexpected FDG uptake at the right sixth rib, which could be indicative of an occult pathological process at the skeletal level. FDG, fluorodeoxyglucose.
