James D Luketich, Philip R Schauer, Carolyn Cidis Meltzer, Rodney J Landreneau, G.Kathleen Urso, David W Townsend, Peter F Ferson, Robert J Keenan, Chandra P Belani  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 64, Issue 3, Pages (September 1997) DOI: /S (97)

2 Fig. 1 Positron emission tomographic scan showing primary tumor uptake only (arrow). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

3 Fig. 2 Positron emission tomographic scan suggested bone metastases to (a) the third vertebral body and (c) the ischium not seen on the bone scan and (b) a liver metastasis not seen by computed tomography. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

4 Fig. 3 False-positive positron emission tomographic scan. Follow-up radiography demonstrated no evidence of a metastatic lesion in the humerus (arrow). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

5 Fig. 4 Celiac lymph node metastasis (arrow) identified by positron emission tomographic scan and later confirmed by laparoscopic staging. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )

6 Fig. 5 Paraesophageal lymph node metastases (arrows) detected by positron emission tomography. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (97) )
