From: Diffusion-weighted imaging and FDG PET/CT: predicting the prognoses with apparent diffusion coefficient values and maximum standardized uptake values in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma

Figure 2

A 65-year-old woman with poorly differentiated invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. (A) On ADC map, calculated ADC value by ROI was 822 × 10-6 mm2/s, which was lower than mean ADC value (994 × 10-6 mm2/s). (B) Axial enhanced T1-weighted image demonstrates an irregular spiculated mass in the left breast. (C) FDG PET/CT image shows FDG uptake in the left breast. Measured SUVmax of breast cancer is 7.3. On histologic examination, axillary LN metastasis was noted in one LN. The results of immunohistochemical study were ER (−), PR (−), HER2 (−), EGFR (+) and Ki-67 70%. ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; ER, estrogen receptor: FDG PET/CT, 18 F-fluorodeoxygluxose positron emission tomography/computed tomography; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; LN, lymph node; PR, progesterone receptor; SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value
