Abstract
18 F-FDG PET/CT being a whole-body technique can detect multiple other critical nononcological findings. Various cardiac disorders identified incidentally on 18 F-FDG have been reported to help in timely management and improve overall patient care. We hereby present one such case where 18 F-FDG PET/CT performed for a workup of carcinoma lung revealed abnormal myocardial FDG uptake in the anteroseptal and apical region, which raised suspicion of myocardial ischemia such as hot spot imaging. On coronary angiography, coronary artery disease was detected and subsequently managed.
