title: FDG and (82)Rb PET/MRI features of brain metastasis of breast cancer.
abstract: A 64-year-old woman with stage IV breast cancer underwent an FDG and Rb PET brain studies. The PET brain images were fused with MRI brain T1 post-contrast images. The known enhancing left superoposterior frontal brain metastasis is positive on both FDG Rb PET/MRI images. The Rb PET/MRI showed better target-to-noise ratio, but showed nonspecific uptake in the superior sagittal sinus.
