Fig. 5.4Images of a 43 years-old patient with a 18F-FDG PET-positive sacral metastasis of cervical cancer (arrows). The tumor manifestation cannot be clearly identified on CT images (a, b) but reveals a pathologic glucose metabolism after image fusion in PET/CT (c). Corresponding MR-images, acquired with one hour delay, show a T2-hypointense sacral lesion (d, T2w HASTE) with restricted diffusivity on diffusion-weighted images (e, DWI: b-1000), highly suspicious for malignancy. Finally, the diagnosis of a bone metastasis could be made with a higher confidence after image fusion in PET/MRI (f)
