A case series on the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT-guided biopsy of osseous metastases

Purpose This case series explores the utility of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) guidance for biopsy of 18 F-fludeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid osseous lesions that are inconspicuous on CT. Methods PET/CT-guided core biopsies were performed in four patients with suspected malignancies given 18 F-FDG-avid osseous lesions that were inconspicuous on CT alone. The final diagnosis for each patient was determined by...
