1 PET/CT Fusion Scan in Lung Cancer: Current Recommendations and Innovations 
Cristina Gámez, MD, PhD, Rafael Rosell, MD, PhD, Alejandro Fernández, MD, PhD, Eduard Andía, MD, M Dolores Arnáiz, MD, Felipe Cardenal, MD, PhD, Carles Lorenzo, MD  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 1, Issue 1, Pages (January 2006) DOI: /S (15) Copyright © 2006 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 Representative positron emission tomography/computed tomography images from two patients with lung cancer associated with atelectasis in which computed tomography cannot delineate the exact localization of the tumor. (A) A 60-year-old man with left lung adenocarcinoma limited to the perihilar region causing distal normometabolic atelectasis. Unsuspected left adrenal hypermetabolic lesion is observed consistent with metastases. (B) A 67-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma in the upper lobe of left lung where tumor has replaced the lobe showing extensive hypermetabolism (replacement atelectasis).

3 FIGURE 2 This is a baseline positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan of a 51 year-old woman diagnosed with non–small-cell lung cancer showing a mass in the right lung, lymph nodes adenopathies, and multiple pulmonary and bone metastases. After only 1 month of treatment with gefitinib, the positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan revealed an important metabolic response.

4 FIGURE 3 A 42-year-old woman with small-cell lung cancer referred for primary staging. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging shows extensive disease involving the left lung, mediastinum, and bone, as shown in the left sacrum and the right femur. She received chemotherapy for 5 months, and restaging with a PET/CT 1 month after the completion of treatment showed a complete remission.
