Fig 2 Fusion findings of computed tomography and positron emission tomography. (A) Acetate-positron emission tomography (AC-PET) was positive in both the peripheral ground-glass opacity and the central solid components. (B) The 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET was positive in the central solid component but negative in the peripheral ground-glass opacity component.
