Intracardiac Metastases Detected by 18F-FSPG PET/CT

We present a case of non–small cell lung cancer with myocardial and pericardial metastases obscured by physiologic 18F-FDG cardiac uptake but detected with the investigational PET radiotracer (4S)-4-(3-18F-fluoropropyl)-L-glutamate (18F-FSPG), which targets a pathway associated with glutathione biosynthesis. This case demonstrates the added value of 18F-FSPG PET/CT imaging.
