[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose PET in Thoracic Malignancies
PET Clinics, 2014[(18)F]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET is a robust quantitative molecular imaging technique that complements available structural imaging techniques for the detection and characterization of malignancy. This article provides an overview of the utility and applications of FDG-PET for the evaluation of patients with thoracic malignancy.

F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose PET in Fournier Gangrene
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2010Abstract: A 64-year-old man with a locally advanced rectum adenocarcinoma was referred for 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) imaging for the purpose of restaging and tumor response. Circumferentially increased perirectal F-18 FDG uptake was seen.

Gossypiboma Mimicking Fluorodeoxyglucose-avid Lung Nodule
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2020We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with a fluorodeoxyglucose-avid lung nodule 8 months after a coronary artery bypass graft procedure. This mass was later discovered to be a gossypiboma caused by retained surgical sponge material. There have been prior reports of intrathoracic gossypiboma presenting with various imaging findings; however, none ...

Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in pneumonia.
Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 1998Whole-body PET imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been shown to be effective in distinguishing benign and malignant pulmonary disease. Mild elevations in FDG uptake with standardized uptake values (SUVs) less than 2.5 have been reported in benign lesions, including pneumonia.

Impact of fluorodeoxyglucose PET on the management of esophageal cancer
Nuclear Medicine Communications, 2009Esophageal cancer is the third most common malignancy of the alimentary tract. The incidence of esophageal cancer has steadily increased over the past three decades. Almost all therapeutic modalities for esophageal cancer are associated with a considerable mortality and morbidity.

Regional comparison of the lumped constants of deoxyglucose and fluorodeoxyglucose
Metabolic Brain Disease, 1989We determined the regional relationships of the lumped constants for deoxyglucose (DG) and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Awake male rats were given simultaneous intravenous injections of [14C]DG and [18F]FDG, and sacrificed after 45 min. The brains were removed and small pieces of cortical tissue were sampled by dissection. The remainder of the brains were

Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake in the Retractile Testis
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1999A 51-year-old man with a palpable mass in his right inguinal region had fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) in our cancer screening program. FDG accumulated in the mass, suggesting a metabolically active lesion that was likely malignant.

Update on PET radiopharmaceuticals: life beyond fluorodeoxyglucose
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2004Twenty-eight years after its inception, 2-[18F]FDG- is still the most widely used radiopharmaceutical for PET studies, but numerous more specific radiotracers have been developed and applied in neuroscience and oncology. The advances in radiotracer chemistry, especially the nucleophilic substitution reaction, have played the pivotal role in ...

Normal variants in [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET imaging
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2004The number of fluorodeoxyglucose PET applications is increasing. In the process of reading fluorodeoxyglucose-PET scans, nuclear medicine physicians encounter a wide variety of normal findings, which must be recognized to determine the best management for patients.

Anomeric Dependence of Fluorodeoxyglucose Transport in Human Erythrocytes
Biochemistry, 1994The transport of several n-fluoro-n-deoxy-D-glucose derivatives across the human erythrocyte membrane has been studied under equilibrium exchange conditions using one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. This approach is based on the intracellular 19F shift, which was found to depend on the anomeric form and on the F/OH ...
