DETECTION OF CARDIAC METASTASIS BY F-18 FLUORO-2-DEOXYGLUCOSE POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY

Whole-body F-18-Fluoro-2-Deoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis and staging of various malignancies. FDG uptake in the myocardium can be physiologic or pathologic. We report a few cases that illustrate appearances of cardiac metastases
