Figure 7 Monitoring therapeutic effect in liver metastases due to GIST gastrointestinal stromal tumor using Gleevec (imatinib mesylate). A, B: Before chemotherapy. A: CECT demonstrated bull’s eye like low density in the liver, which was consistent with metastases; B: The metastatic tumor shown as an FDG-avid mass; C, D: After chemotherapy. (C) CECT shows similar mass before chemotherapy although (D) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake significantly decreased. FDG-PET may more correctly reflect the therapeutic effect than CECT.
