Colorectal cancer with solitary hepatic and lung metastases in the initial staging. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) of PET captured in the coronal projection of the 360°-rotation (a), axial slices of PET (b), CT (c) and PET/CT (d) and colonoscopy (e). The rotating MIPs of PET, here captured in coronal projection (a), enable clear depiction of colorectal cancer, here with a maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax) of 6.9, at the first view in contrast to CT (c) and colonoscopy (e) both of which are invasive, require bowel preparation and time consuming step-by-step analysis
