F-FDG is the most commonly utilized radiopharmaceutical in PET/CT imaging. Limitations of F-FDG imaging include intense physiologic uptake in benign tissues such as the brain and myocardium. We present a case of non-small cell lung cancer with myocardial and pericardial metastases obscured by physiologic F-FDG cardiac uptake but detected with th ...[more]
