Contrast-enhanced CT shows response to chemotherapy. CT scan shows 10-mm aortocaval node (arrow) behind third part of duodenum.

Contrast-enhanced CT shows response to chemotherapy. CT scan obtained after patient underwent treatment with chemotherapy shows that there has been complete response.

Contrast-enhanced CT scans show multiple lung metastases (A) and multiple liver metastases (B), along with large retroperitoneal disease that is invading left renal vein (arrow, B).

Contrast-enhanced CT scans show multiple lung metastases (A) and multiple liver metastases (B), along with large retroperitoneal disease that is invading left renal vein (arrow, B).

View larger version (141K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 5A —55-year-old man with seminoma. Contrast-enhanced CT shows response to chemotherapy. Image shows that large retroperitoneal nodal mass (arrow) is causing obstruction to right kidney.

View larger version (137K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 5B —55-year-old man with seminoma. Contrast-enhanced CT shows response to chemotherapy. Image obtained 6 months after A shows excellent response with minimal soft tissue (arrow), which resolved on subsequent imaging (not shown).

Contrast-enhanced MDCT images show value of multiplanar reformations. Paraaortic node (arrow) is not readily seen from adjacent bowel loops on axial (A), sagittal (B), and coronal (C) images.

Contrast-enhanced MDCT images show value of multiplanar reformations. Oblique coronal multiplanar reformatted image shows left paraaortic node (arrow).

View larger version (124K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 7A —60-year-old man with residual mass after undergoing chemotherapy treatment for seminoma. Unenhanced CT scan shows residual retroperitoneal mass (arrow).

View larger version (70K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 7B —60-year-old man with residual mass after undergoing chemotherapy treatment for seminoma. Corresponding 18F-FDG PET image shows no increased activity in residual mass (arrow). Subsequent follow-up over 2 years has shown no evidence of recurrent disease.

Fused color-coded FDG PET/CT images show increased uptake in nodes. Uptake is seen in supraclavicular fossa (arrow, A) and posterior mediastinum (arrow, B).
