Coronal fused FDG-PET/MRI image of a patient with right upper back pain demonstrates asymetric uptake in the right trapezius muscle without abnormality on MRI to suggest edema or denervation injury. Trigger point lidocaine injection of the area based on PET/MRI findings resulted in complete relief of symptoms (pain score reduced to 0 from a baseline of 6).
