@klewis10367 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. You already have had some great input from others. Like @jlsgt suggested, the isotope/contrast used in your scans makes a difference in identifying neuroendocrine cancer. Do you know what contrast was used? What is being biopsied this Thursday? Thanks.

@tomrennie This was my F-18 FDG PET Scan findings:
Mediastinal blood pool SUVmax 1.7
Background liver SUVmax using BMI 3.1
There is normal physiologic uptake involving the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and collecting system. Uptake is seen in the bowel likely related to physiologic excretion. Mental thickening is identified particularly in the right lower quadrant with some activity within it this is 2.9 SUV which is less than background liver uptake.
IMPRESSION: Omental thickening particularly in the right lower quadrant
demonstrates low-grade activity. No pathologically increased uptake is seen.
