From: Diagnostic performance of PET/CT in the detection of liver metastases in well-differentiated NETs
N | Finding in MRI | Finding in SSR-PET/CT |
|---|---|---|
36 | small lesions < 1.2 cm | no SSR-uptake |
6 | low hepatic involvement, lesions located subcapsular | no SSR-uptake |
3 | lesions located close to the big vessels | SSR-uptake rated as vascular-associated |
2 | low hepatic involvement with small lesions | low SSR-uptake rated as non-malignant |
1 | low hepatic involvement with small lesions | low SSR-uptake rated as haemangioma |
2 | low hepatic involvement with small lesions and insufficient co-registration of PET and CT | no SSR-uptake |
1 | high background noise of the liver | no SSR-uptake |
