Assessment of Fluorodeoxyglucose F18-Labeled Positron Emission Tomography for Diagnosis of High-Risk Lung Nodules. [PDF]
Clinicians rely heavily on fluorodeoxyglucose F18-labeled positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging to evaluate lung nodules suspicious for cancer. We evaluated the performance of FDG-PET for the diagnosis of malignancy in differing populations with varying cancer prevalence.To determine the performance of FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT) in ...

Maximum standardized uptake value-to-tumor size ratio in fluorodeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography: a simple prognostic parameter for non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]
PURPOSE By correcting the effect of tumor size on metabolic activity, the maximum standardized uptake value-to-tumor size (SUVmax:tumor size) ratio on fluorodeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans can be

Multilocular Thymic Cyst with High F18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake and Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report. [PDF]
Background: multilocular thymic cysts are uncommon acquired cysts in the anterior mediastinum caused by incomplete thymic involution. They may be associated with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis. Methods: a 61-year-

Headache attributed to giant cell arteritis complicated with rheumatic polymyalgia diagnosed with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography: a case report [PDF]
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a kind of systemic vasculitis affecting individuals over 50 years old and is often the cause of new-onset headaches in older adults. Patients with GCA sometimes have rheumatic polymyalgia (PMR).

Primary Tumor Standardized Uptake Value Measured on F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Is of Prediction Value for Survival and Local Control in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer Receiving Radiotherapy: Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Introduction:The 2-[18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET/CT) has become an imaging tool for clinical assessment of tumor, node, metastasis in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
