Utility of fusion CT-PET in the diagnosis of small pancreatic carcinoma

Figure 1 Whole body and combined fusion CT-PET of the pancreas. A: Whole body CT-PET demonstrating a focus of increased uptake in the pancreatic head (arrowed); B: Although no lesion was seen on CT, anatomical localization was possible with fusion CT-PET to the pancreatic head (arrowed). A CBD stent is seen in situ.

Figure 2 Post-Whipple’s specimen demonstrating a mass in the head of pancreas causing narrowing of the distal CBD (arrowed).
