Fig. 3B. —73-year-old man with non—small cell cancer in left lung (not shown) who presented with pulmonary edema and bilateral pleural effusions. Axial positron emission tomographic image with ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) shows normal mediastinal and cardiac activity without increased FDG uptake in pleura. After thoracentesis of left-sided effusion, cytologic evaluation revealed negative findings for malignant cells. Both effusions resolved after patient's cardiac failure was treated with diuretic therapy. H = heart with normal uptake in myocardium, M = mediastinum, V = vertebral body.
