Positron Emission Tomography with Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is a
nuclear medicine imaging modality using positron-emitting
radiotracers and a combined PET and CT scanner in order to detect
and localize high radiotracer signal abnormalities. Although PET
has evolved into a diagnostic modality of prime importance in
oncology (with the radiotracer (F18-FDG) it was originally
envisioned to image and diagnose diseases of the brain and the
heart. Lack or limited experience in PET may result in an erroneous
interpretation of the findings in this sensitive imaging
modality.The existence of various rare cancers has resulted in
scanty if not a lack of knowledge about the usefulness of PET in
these interesting albeit uncommon maladies. The author, drawing
from more than ten years of experience as the chairman/director of
the only PET Center in the Philippines, aims to present the most
interesting cases he has encountered which may be educational to
those beginning their practice or even helpful to veterans of the
field whose scope of practice has been limited to the most common
and reimbursable indications of an FDG-PET scan."
