FIGURE 1 A, Sagittal CT. B, PET. C, Integrated CT-PET. Diffuse uptake of [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose in the treated esophagus with SUV 8.7 in the region of the primary malignancy. Endoscopy/EUS showed absence of esophagitis and ulceration. CT-PET in combination with endoscopy/EUS was interpreted as therapeutic failure. At resection, histopathology confirmed >50% viable tumor.

FIGURE 2 A, Coronal CT. B, PET. C, Integrated CT-PET. Focal increased [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake in the region of the esophageal malignancy SUV 6.5. Endoscopy/EUS showed esophagitis and ulceration. CT-PET in combination with endoscopy/EUS was interpreted as response to therapy. At resection, histopathology revealed complete response with 0% viable tumor.

FIGURE 3 A, Axial CT. B, PET. C, Integrated CT-PET. Absence of [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake in the treated esophagus. CT-PET was interpreted as response to therapy. At resection, histopathology revealed partial response with 20% viable tumor. CT-PET is unable to detect residual microscopic disease after CRT.
