Correct!
5. More than of the above
The repeat 18FDG – PET scan now shows widespread metabolic activity traceable to areas of curvilinear consolidation and ground-glass opacity in the lung parenchyma, but no tracer uptake within enlarged lymph nodes to suggest recurrent lymphoma is seen. Bilateral peribronchial hypermetabolism within non-pathologically enlarged lymph nodes is again present and has been seen on multiple prior studies. The anterior segment right upper lobe nodular opacity, with solid nodularity along its medial aspect, is at least similar in size, arguably slightly increased compared to more remote priors, but now clearly shows tracer uptake that now exceeds background mediastinal blood pool activity.
