(JL). Coronal images at level of subclavian vein and heart. Mean
(maximum) region of interest (ROI) values for subclavian vein (short
arrows) and left atrium (long arrows) were 36 (49) H and 35 (40)
H, respectively, on unenhanced CT scan. Corresponding PET standardized uptake
values (SUV) were 0.97 (1.0) and 1.88 (2.1), respectively. B,
Attentuation-corrected PET with unenhanced CT.
