1 Positron emission tomography (PET scan)
Positron emission tomography (PET scan). PET scan showing uptake in the original primary site (palate, indicated by large arrowhead) as well as new mediastinal uptake indicative of nodal metastases (thin arrow). Note the normal physiologic uptake in the liver (moderate intensity) and heart and brain (high intensity) demonstrating the relatively high glucose utilization of these organs.
