  		Fig. 1E. —35-year-old man with cushingoid appearance. Orthogonal images from non–attenuation-corrected whole-body positron emission tomography examination (ECAT 951R, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) show increased FDG uptake in anterior mediastinum. Increased FDG uptake is also seen in soft tissue posterior to L4 vertebra on sagittal view (G).

Orthogonal images from non–attenuation-corrected whole-body positron emission tomography examination (ECAT 951R, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) show increased FDG uptake in anterior mediastinum. Increased FDG uptake is also seen in soft tissue posterior to L4 vertebra on sagittal view (G).
