Metastatic Brain Lesions of Colon Carcinoma on F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT)
Abstract
Metastatic brain tumors of colon carcinoma usually present with multiorgan metastasis and are associated with worse prognosis. The diagnostic imaging modality of brain metastasis is MR thus there are limited data about FDG PET/CT appearance of these tumors. This is the report of three cases with pathological diagnoses of brain metastasis of colon metastasis with FDG PET/CT images.
