Figure 3. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) performed in the 3rd month after the first assessment. (A) High uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose is seen in the intrahepatic portal veins (arrows) in PET-CT images at the level of the liver. The standardized uptake value (SUV) max was 4.94 in the early phase and 5.25 in the delayed phase. (B) High uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose is revealed in the splenic vein (arrow) in the PET-CT image at the level of the pancreas.
