FIGURE 1.

A 53-year-old woman with breast cancer. A metastasis can be observed in the L2 vertebral body (arrows) on the precontrast T1 weighted (W) image (A), contrast enhanced (CE) T1W image (B), and CE T1W VIBE-PET fused image (C). The AC PET axial image (D) does not show FDG uptake. CT yielded false-negative results (E).AC PET = attenuation-corrected raw data positron-emission tomography; FDG = fluorodeoxyglucose; VIBE = volume-interpolated breath-hold examination
