Figure 2 Appearance of germinomas on positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
A: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET-CT) detected diffuse low FDG uptake in the left hemisphere in case 3; B: 18F-fluorodopa-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-DOPA-PET-CT) detected low uptake of DOPA in the left basal ganglia in case 3; C: 18F-FDG-PET demonstrated low uptake in the left hemisphere in case 4; D: 18F-DOPA-PET-CT showed normal metabolism in case 4. 18F-FDG-PET-CT: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography-computed tomography; 18F-DOPA-PET-CT: 18F-fluorodopa-positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
