3. 18FDG-PET scan shows discrepant metabolism between the two masses
The 18FDG-PET scan reveals discrepant metabolism within the two pulmonary masses, showing intense metabolic activity within the left apical mass, but only minimal metabolic activity within the right lower lobe mass. No abnormal tracer activity is seen within peribronchial or mediastinal lymph nodes, and no other sites of significant tracer utilization are present elsewhere inside or outside the thorax.
