Figure 1. Initial positron emission tomography imaging (A) and results after 2 weeks of intravenous penicillin therapy (B). Red arrows indicate areas of increased osteomedullary hypermetabolism on nuclear imaging, while the blue arrows point toward a hypercaptation focus in the liver, both of which resolved following antibiotics.

Figure 2. Radiological correlation of the segment VI liver lesion between CT abdominal scan (left) and PET (right). The blue arrow points toward a hypercaptation focus in the liver, which didn’t anatomically correlate with any density changes on computed tomography.
