Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: Dual-tracer 18 F-FDG and 11 C-acetate PET/CT has been shown to demonstrate good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. We present a case of gastric adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis with positive uptake of 18 F-FDG and 11 C-acetate highlighting an unusual appearance in dual-tracer PET/CT.
