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.

Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET in Breast Cancer
2006Similar to the previously discussed approved applications in oncology, FDGPET in breast cancer has demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy compared with conventional anatomic imaging for the detection of distant metastases. This increased accuracy in lesion detection has translated into improved staging, especially in cases with a high clinical ...

Lung Neoplasms with Low F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Avidity
PET Clinics, 2018Some malignant lung neoplasms may demonstrate low or absent uptake on F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography. Pathologic type and clinical stage are independent factors associated with FDG avidity. Among lung malignancies with low FDG avidity, adenocarcinoma in situ and carcinoid are the most common.
