Abstract
The tumor thrombus differentiates itself from blood thrombus by its intense FDG uptake as result of its high metabolic neoplastic activity. Delayed PET images (2-3 hours) are useful in assessing disease residue or recurrence with progressive tracer accumulation in the lesion and calculation of retention index PET/CT was more sensitive than conventional CT in detecting extra hepatic metastatic disease based on their metabolic activity & it provide whole body assessment in single examination Our findings showed that the combination of good anatomical resolution and the metabolic data offered by PET/CT can exclude the presence of extra hepatic disease that affects the tumor stage and the intervention procedure
