PET/CT reading may sometimes be challenging. It is not infrequent, in fact, to meet abnormal findings on CT images (even not related to the neoplastic disease under evaluation) that are functionally silent and therefore difficult to interpret for nuclear medicine practitioners. Frequently, these findings are clinically relevant and deserve to be reported, interpreted, and compared to previous scans. This may have an impact on patient management since the highest diagnostic information must be provided by an expensive test such as PET/CT.
