A new findin of a liver lesion with 2.8 suv uptake on pet scan in a colon can patient . would this b a killed met?

Possibly: However, the adjacent liver have variable uptake of the PET agent. This could be a normal area of liver or a non-cancerous nodule. Without seeing the images and comparing them to prior studies, I cannot really make an assessment.
