Fig. 1E —49-year-old man with bronchogenic carcinoma and 1.5-cm left
adrenal nodule. PET image of liver shows results of quantitative analysis of
18F-FDG uptake of liver obtained with 2D ROI on relatively
homogeneous part of right lobe of liver, which was free from metastasis.
Average standardized uptake value (SUV) of adrenal nodule was 1.4, and average
SUV of liver was 2.3. Because its SUV was less than that of liver, nodule was
considered PET negative. Finding was considered true-negative and benign on
basis of imaging stability over 3 years.
