Figure 5 It shows an example of two isodense lesions on CT alone and combined PET/CT with the inserted biopsy needles. The lesions margins are barely seen on CT images alone (fine black arrows, A and C). In comparison, the true extent and localisation of the lesion are well shown on the combined PET/CT images. Based on poor visibility on CT alone, the lesion in the bottom row was nearly missed (D).
