However, after successful incorporation of PET/computed tomography (CT) scanners, several investigators developed techniques to make hybrid PET/MRI scanner a clinical reality.

It should be noted that FDG PET is intrinsically limited for assessing brain tumors due to generally low tumor-to-background contrast. FDG uptake in low-grade tumors is often similar to white matter, while FDG uptake in high-grade tumors may be less than or similar to gray matter.- CockpitComment: A 53-year-old-man presents with progressive dyspnea, orthopnea, and edema of the upper extremities, face, and neck. He has a past history of long-term hospitalization for acute hepatic failure.
