a Transverse and b coronal image of 18F-FDG PET/CT in patient with IDC and left axillary lymph node metastasis. PET/CT identified aggressive early breast HR positive IDC with high score of HER2 expression (not showed). In this case PET/CT served as a supplementary staging procedure. PET/CT shows left axillary lymph node metastasis (SUVmax = 5.7). Classification after PET/CT was T1bN1M0.
