Figure 1
18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography whole-body image. In particular, subclavian arteries (arrows) show increased metabolic activity (maximal standardized uptake value 3.0, mean liver standardized uptake value 1.8). The oblique projection shows increased glucose metabolism in the aortic arch (arrow heads) too. No other foci of increased metabolism like solid tumors were detectable in this imaging.
