18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography is commonly used for the staging of non-small-cell lung carcinoma. However, few studies have investigated the correlation between the maximum standardised uptake value (SUV max) of the primary tumour and the disease staging according to histology. The current retrospective study evaluated this relationship using statistical analyses. The findings suggest that higher SUV max is positively correlated with more advanced staging. This study demonstrates the importance of SUV max interpretation on the radiological staging of non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

A Meckel's scintigraphy using TcO4 was performed in a 9-year-old boy. The images revealed an elongated abnormal radiotracer accumulation in the right abdomen, which was confirmed as Meckel diverticulum combined with an omphalomesenteric cyst.
