From: Significance of 18 F-FDG PET and immunohistochemical GLUT-1 expression for cardiac myxoma
The findings of18 F-FDG PET/CT and echocardiography at surgery of the resected cardiac myxoma. (A–C) Coregistered 18 F-FDG PET/CT images in coronal (A) and axial (B) plane demonstrated a large and mildly to moderately hypermetabolic area in the left atrium (maximal SUV: 3.0), which corresponded to a hypodensisty mass lesion on chest CT (C), measuring 46 × 32 mm in diameter. (D) Subsequent transthoracic echocardiography revealed a pedunculated mass originating from the interatrial septum (arrows).
