case_images: PET/CT images obtained in evaluation of aortic filling defect (coronal image (a); sagittal image (b)), showing hypometabolic activity within the spinal cord from T3 through T6 and a large (6.3 x 6.4 x 5.3 cm), ring-like area of FDG avidity with central, decreased avidity consistent with an abscess and central infarct of the left upper lobe, posterior chest wall, and adjacent thoracic spine vertebral bodies.

case_images: The PET/CT showed hypometabolic activity within the spinal cord from T3 through T6, representing infarct, and a large (6.3 x 6.4 x 5.3 cm), ring-like area of FDG avidity involving the apical posterior left upper lobe and adjacent thoracic spine, with central, marked decreased avidity of included pulmonary parenchyma, thoracic vertebral bodies, spinal cord, and posterior chest wall (Figure 1).
