Abstract
Liver pathologies are diagnosed by clinical, laboratory, and imaging data. The liver is a frequently involved organ in metastatic disease. Fluorine‐18 (
18
F)‐fluorodeoxy glucose (FDG) imaging takes advantage of elevated glucose metabolism in malignancies, a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. This chapter discusses a variety of hepatobiliary cases of congenital, infective, inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, and postsurgical abnormalities with the goal of demonstrating the utility of combination imaging with both nuclear and non‐nuclear imaging techniques.
18
F‐FDG uptake in liver lesions has a high positive predictive value for malignancy, whereas
18
F‐FDG uptake in benign liver tumors is rare. Routine postsurgical anatomic changes encountered on imaging may present a challenge if the surgical history is unknown. Multiple cases in this chapter show that imaging findings across modalities synergistically improve interpretation.
