Figure 3From: Is [F-18]-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography of value in the management of patients with craniofacial bone sarcomas undergoing neo-adjuvant treatment? The value of 18 FDG PET/CT value in determining the management of a patient with craniofacial bone sarcoma. The initial response to treatment, after four cycles of MAP chemotherapy, is documented by both MRI (A versus B) and 18FDG PET/CT (D versus E). At the subsequent restaging, performed early due to worsening pain, the MRI scan (C) continued to demonstrate stable disease while the 18FDG PET/CT demonstrated overt disease progression with an increase in SUV from 21 to 42 (F).Back to article page
