PET/CT shows impact of different COVID-19 vaccines
By Will Morton
The type of COVID-19 vaccine and the time interval between vaccination and PET/CT scans are key factors in minimizing false interpretations in cancer patients.

A 73-year-old woman with a suspicious lung nodule was referred to our division for F-18 FDG PET/CT exam. She was vaccinated four days before PET/CT. The lung nodule did not show any pathological FDG uptake; however, high tracer activity was detected on her right arm, where she was injected, and multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the right axilla (arrows). Moreover, PET/CT showed high tracer activity in the liver (black arrows), spleen (triangular arrows), and bone marrow (small triangular arrows) as the result of systemic immune response after vaccination. The tracer defect in the liver was due to the known cyst. (A) fusion scan, (B) PET, (C) maximum intensity projection. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.

An overview of all radiation oncology target volume delineations on axial imaging. Each row represents the benchmarking cases: FET-PET11 case 1 (a), FET-PET1 case 2 (b), and FET-PET1 case 3 (c). Shown here are standard gross tumor volume MRI (GTVMR, red), clinical target volume MRI (CTVMR, green), planning target volume MRI (PTVMR, orange), and hybrid GTVMR+FET (blue), CTVMR+FET (purple), PTVMR+FET (yellow). For comparison, GTVMR and GTVMR+FET are shown together with contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, T2/FLAIR, and FET-PET. All images are co-registered to each case; respective planning CT where TVMR and TVMR+FET are displayed separately. Figure courtesy of Nathaniel Barry et al and presented at RANZCR ASM 2023.
