Figure 1From: Accuracy of methionine-PET in predicting the efficacy of heavy-particle therapy on primary adenoid cystic carcinomas of the head and neckA 49-year-old female who received 57.6 GyE for paranasal sinus cancer. The arrows indicate the tumors. a. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 53 × 44 mm mass in the paranasal sinus region. b. A methionine (MET)-PET/CT image prior to treatment demonstrated a high accumulation mass in the region shown in the MRI. c. MRI revealed tumor shrinkage 44 days after carbon ion radiotherapy. d. The MET-PET/CT image after the treatment demonstrated decreased MET uptake.Back to article page
