title: Dual-Tracer PET/CT Using 18F-FDG and 11C-Acetate in Gastric Adenocarcinoma With Liver Metastasis.
abstract: Dual-tracer F-FDG and C-acetate PET/CT has been shown to demonstrate good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. We present a case of gastric adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis with positive uptake of F-FDG and C-acetate highlighting an unusual appearance in dual-tracer PET/CT.
