Abstract
A 52-year old woman with fever of unknown origin underwent fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan for further evaluation. A clinical history of cervical cancer (CIS) operated 20 years ago was documented. Two foci in the right lobe of the slightly enlarged liver presented increased 18F-FDG uptake. Visceral brucellosis was diagnosed via blood culture. The patient received anti-brucella therapy and recovered rapidly, the liver lesions diminished on control CT.

medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
