Chordoma: 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI imaging features

ConclusionOn18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, chordomas demonstrate moderate, heterogeneous FDG uptake. Predominant T2 hyperintensity and small foci of internal increased T1 signal are common on MRI. The inherent FDG avidity of chordomas suggests that18F-FDG PET/CT may be a useful modality for staging, evaluating treatment response, and assessing for recurrent or metastatic disease.
