Metabolic imaging using F18-fluorodeoxyglucose to assess myocardial viability

The International Journal of Cardiac Imaging, 1997
Over the past 10 years, F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) has emerged as an important technique in the delineation of myocardial viability. Using this technique it has become possible to predict recovery of ventricular function after revascularization in patients with chronic coronary artery disease. Data from

F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the evaluation of vertebral vascular tumors

Clinical Imaging, 2020
The uptake of 18F-FDG is higher in most malignancies than in benign tumors. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in vertebral vascular tumors.We retrospectively collected PET/CT and clinical data of patients with vertebral vascular tumors and analyzed the location, number, and bone destruction and FDG uptake features ...

Positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose-F18 in an animal model of mania

Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 2008
Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of ouabain to young adult rats has been suggested to model human bipolar mania. In the human condition, mania and bipolar depression are both associated with reductions in frontal cerebral metabolism. We utilized [(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose [(18)FDG] positron emission tomography (PET) to visualize glucose ...

Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography in a case of slowly progressive pure alexia

Neurocase, 2013
We describe a 71-year-old patient with slowly progressive pure alexia in which analysis of her fluorodeoxyglucose FDG-PET scan revealed an area of focal hypometabolism in the visual word form area. She presented with difficulty reading. Examination revealed pure alexia with preservation of other cognitive domains. Brain MRI revealed only slight atrophy.

Lung Neoplasms with Low F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Avidity

PET Clinics, 2018
Some 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.

Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 Positron Emission Tomography in Progressive Apraxia of Speech and Primary Progressive Aphasia Variants

Archives of Neurology, 2010
To determine patterns of hypometabolism on fluorodeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in patients with progressive apraxia of speech (PAS) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA) variants and to use these patterns to further refine current classification.We identified all patients who had FDG-PET and PAS or PPA who were evaluated by an
