Clinical significance of retrograde inferior vena cava and hepatic vein opacification during contrast enhanced tri-phasic CT abdomen acquired as part of F-18 FDG PET CT scan - Learning point for nuclear medicine physicians: A case report and literature survey Open
Hepatic veins and inferior vena cava are opacified during the delayed venous phase on triphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) abdomen scan. However, their early opacification/visualization in the arterial phase is usually du…
