Example of a schwannoma detected by MRI but not by [18F]FDG-PET. Right-sided sciatic nerve schwannoma (arrows) not visible on a coronal maximum intensity projection (MIP) [18F]FDG-PET image and b axial [18F]FDG-PET image (circles). Conversely, the lesion was detected on MRI as a high signal intensity focal area on c, d axial diffusion-weighted (DW) images with low and high values (50 and 800 s/mm2), an intermediate signal intensity on e axial apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) image. f Axial fused [18F]FDG-TEP and b = 800 s/mm2 DW image
