120443 -    3.  TECHNIQUE: Fasting fingerstick blood glucose was 91 mg/dl.
120444 -        About 15.0 mCi of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was
120445 -        administered intravenously.  Patient received oral contrast per
120446 -        standard protocol.  After a 54 minute delay, positron emission
120447 -        scanning was performed from the neck to the pelvis (patient's
120448 -        arms were up and out of the field-of-view).  Computed
120449 -        tomographic imaging was obtained for attenuation correction and
120450 -        localization purposes.  Tomographic images reconstructed both
120451 -        with and without attenuation correction.

440412 -
440413 -        Images of the visualized portions of the head and neck
440414 -        demonstrate relatively physiologic biodistribution of
440415 -        radiotracer.
440417 -         ..
440418 -    6.  Images of the thorax demonstrate interval resolution of
440419 -        previously noted foci in the left supraclavicular and right
440420 -        axillary regions.  Post-operative changes of a left mastectomy
440421 -        are evident, with mild FDG activity noted in the underlying
440422 -        left chest wall.  A right Port-A-Cath is in place.
440424 -  ..
440425 - This section supports the doctor's report in a letter to UCSF received
440426 - in the record on 061230. ref SDS 22 PO3V

440431 -    7.  The liver and spleen appear relatively homogeneous.  Other
440432 -        areas of FDG uptake within the abdomen and pelvis appear to be
440433 -        related to expected bowel and urinary tract activity.
440435 -         ..
440436 -    8.  The spine and other visualized skeletal structures demonstrate
440437 -        expected marrow activity.  Note made of scattered degenerative
440438 -        changes and atherosclerotic calcifications.  Otherwise
440439 -        physiologic biodistribution of radiotracer is present.
440441 -         ..
440442 -    9.  ** IMPRESSION **:
440443 -
440444 -        Relatively mild activity is noted in the left chest wall.  This
440445 -        is likely inflammatory in nature, although a small amount of
440446 -        residual tumor could not be excluded.
440448 -         ..
440449 -   10.  The study is otherwise unremarkable.
