We used virtual navigator real-time ultrasound (US) fusion imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) to identify a lesion that could not be detected on the US alone in a preoperative breast cancer patient. Of the patient’s two lesions of breast cancer, the calcified lesion could not be identified by US alone. By fusing US with 18F-FDG PET/CT, which had been performed in advance, the location of the lesion could be estimated and marked, which benefited planning an appropriate surgery. The fusion of US and 18F-FDG PET/CT was a simple and noninvasive method for identifying the lesions detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT.
