case_images: Radiological evaluation of diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with 18 (fludeoxyglucose) positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan performed 6 months after first-line chemotherapy. (a) Axial pelvic follow-up computed tomography demonstrates only fibrotic changes scattered throughout small bowel. (b) Axial abdominal follow-up computed tomography scan (intestine opacified with amidotrizoate) showing enlarged spleen, with smooth parietal peritoneal thickening. (c) Positron emission tomography-fused-axial chest computed tomography scan without signs of increased (18) fludeoxyglucose uptake in thoracic cavity. (d) Positron emission tomography-fused-axial abdominal computed tomography scan without detectable (18) fludeoxyglucose peritoneal uptakes
