FDG PET-CT and WB MRI in lobular breast cancer. 62-year-old female with a history of treated lobular breast cancer with no history of metastatic disease presented with back pain. FDG PET-CT MIP (A) showed no significant or high grade pathological activity. The fused PET-CT images (B) showed minimal activity in a few bone lesions (red arrows) although the lesions were barely appreciated on the low-dose CT component (C). These were indeterminate but suspicious in this context. WBMRI was performed for further evaluation which showed a greater number of bone lesions (yellow arrows) better seen on Sagittal T1-weighted images (D) compared with the Sagittal T2-weighted images (E). The bone lesions demonstrate restricted diffusion with high signal on b900 DWI images (F) and low signal on ADC map (G) in keeping with bone metastases
