Takayasu’s arteritis. A – 18F-FDG PET/CT scan coronal images of a patient presenting with weight loss, fevers, drenching night sweats and proximal muscle weakness. PET (left), CT (middle) and fused PET/CT (right) images are shown indicating increased uptake in large vessels, subclavian and abdominal aorta (arrows) compatible with the final diagnosis of Takayasu’s giant cell arteritis. B – Repeat scan after 6 months with steroid therapy indicated reduction in uptake in the vessels. CT = computerised tomography; FDG = fluorodeoxyglucose; PET = positron emission tomography

18F-choline PET/MRI axial images of a patient with Gleason 4+3 prostate cancer. T2-weighted images (T2 SFOV) show a small area of low signal in the left posterior peripheral zone. There is restricted diffusion at this site on the ADC images, increased choline uptake on the fused T2/FDG PET image and increased blood flow compared to the normal prostate and normal muscle on the T1 DCE magnetic resonance images. ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient; DCE = dynamic contrast enhanced; FDG = fluorodeoxyglucose; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PET = positron emission tomography; SFOV = small field of view
