  Fig. 1 A: Sequence of axial brain T2-weighted MRI images showing bilateral hyperintensities in the caudate and putamen. B: Sequence of axial brain T2-weighted MRI images showing no midbrain atrophy. C: Coronal views of PET, whole-body CT, and fused images in a patient with an abnormal hot spot in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. D: Left-breast biopsy sample with hematoxylin-eosin staining (magnification ×20). Image of high-grade tumor cells showing all the attributes of cytological malignancies: mammary parenchyma widely infiltrated by a carcinomatous process whose architecture is trabecular with a few tumor glands associated with intraductal carcinoma in situ.
