Fig. 1D 84-year-old woman with colon cancer metastatic to liver and
refractory to hemicolectomy who had two prior radiofrequency ablation
treatments of other lesions. PET scan obtained 4 weeks after 90Y
treatment shows marked interval improvement in appearance of liver with
resolution of lesion hypermetabolism in right lobe. This example emphasizes
advantage of PET over CT because CT shows residual lesion, whereas PET shows
resolution of activity, suggesting complete response.
