Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in a patient with Glioma taken from the PETWB-REP dataset. The following English report (translated from original Chinese) is taken verbatim from the public dataset and has not been modified or otherwise checked for accuracy (see the end for citation).
Findings
After fasting and intravenous injection of 18F-FDG, a whole-body PET/CT scan was performed.
The whole-body scan showed: An irregular nodular lesion, approximately 2.4*1.6cm in size, was observed in the left basal ganglia region.
FDG metabolism was increased, with an SUVmax of 7.3, surrounded by a large area of low-density lesions.
The anterior horn of the left lateral ventricle was compressed, but the midline remained centered.
Other punctate low-density lesions were observed in the remaining brain parenchyma, with no abnormal FDG uptake.
Some sulci were slightly widened.
Both eyeballs were symmetrical, with no obvious abnormalities.
No thickening of the paranasal sinus mucosa was observed, and the sinus walls were intact.
No thickening of the nasopharyngeal wall was observed, and FDG uptake was normal.
The pharyngeal recesses were symmetrical, and there was no stenosis of the Eustachian tube openings.
The infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae were structurally normal, and the bilateral parapharyngeal spaces were clear with no abnormal FDG uptake.
Both palatine tonsils showed physiological uptake.
No abnormal density lesions were observed in the bilateral parotid and submandibular glands.
No abnormalities were observed in the morphology and structure of the laryngopharynx.
The thyroid gland is normal in shape and size, with slightly uneven density; FDG uptake is normal.
No enlarged lymph nodes were observed in the bilateral deep cervical spaces or submandibular region.
Scattered patchy, ground-glass opacities, and linear opacities were observed in both lungs; FDG uptake was normal in all cases.
No pleural thickening was observed bilaterally; there was no pleural effusion or pneumothorax bilaterally.
No significantly enlarged lymph nodes were observed in the bilateral hilar and mediastinal regions.
Mediastinal calcifications were present.
The cardiac silhouette was normal.
No esophageal dilation was observed; no significant thickening or mass was observed in the esophageal wall; FDG uptake was normal.
No significant abnormal density was observed in either breast; FDG metabolism was normal.
The liver is normal in shape and size; the liver margins are slightly irregular; the hepatic fissure is not widened; no significant abnormal density shadows were observed in the liver parenchyma on plain CT scan; FDG uptake was normal.
The main portal vein showed no significant widening, and no dilation of intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts was observed.
The gallbladder was normal in shape and size, with no thickening of the gallbladder wall and no abnormal local FDG uptake.
The pancreas was normal in shape, with no obvious abnormal density shadows in the parenchyma, no widening of the main pancreatic duct, and no obvious abnormal FDG uptake.
The spleen showed no abnormalities in shape, size, density, or FDG uptake.
Both kidneys were normal in shape and size, with no obvious abnormal density shadows in the parenchyma, no widening of the renal pelvis, calyces, or ureters, and no obvious abnormal FDG uptake.
Bilateral adrenal glands showed no obvious abnormalities on contrast.
The stomach was poorly distended, with no significant thickening of the stomach wall and no obvious abnormal FDG uptake.
The intestines were poorly distended, with increased local FDG metabolism in the sigmoid colon (SUVmax = 6.5).
The uterus is normal in shape, with no abnormal density shadows, and no abnormally increased FDG uptake.
No abnormal FDG metabolism is observed in the bilateral adnexa.
The bladder wall is not abnormally thickened, and no obvious positive stones are seen within it.
No enlarged lymph nodes are seen in the abdominopelvic region or retroperitoneal area.
No obvious fluid accumulation is seen in the abdomen or pelvis.
The spinal alignment is normal, with some vertebral body margin osteophytes and a depression at the upper margin of the T9 vertebral body.
L4/5 and L5/S1 intervertebral disc bulges are present.
Systemic bone FDG metabolism is normal.
Impression
a. A mass in the left basal ganglia with increased FDG metabolism, highly suggestive of a glioma; please confirm with pathology. b. Small ischemic foci in the remaining brain parenchyma, mild senile cerebral changes.
Scattered chronic inflammation and remnants in both lungs. Mediastinal calcification.
Trend towards cirrhosis.
Increased FDG metabolism in the sigmoid colon, suggestive of physiological or inflammatory uptake; colonoscopy is recommended to rule out other possibilities.
Partial vertebral osteophyte formation. Schmorl's node formation in the T9 vertebral body. L4/5 and L5/S1 intervertebral disc bulges.
This case is from PETWB-REP, a curated dataset of whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scans and corresponding radiology reports from 490 patients with a broad spectrum of malignancies. The data were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent clinically indicated whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scans at the Shanghai Universal Medical Imaging Diagnostic Center between 2021 and 2024.
