Assessment of Fluorodeoxyglucose F18–Labeled Positron Emission Tomography for Diagnosis of High-Risk Lung Nodules [PDF]
JAMA Surgery, 2017 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 ...

Local imaging to interpret tumor size in F18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT in lung cancers [PDF]
Revista da Associação Médica BrasileiraThis study aimed to determine the thoracic and extra-thoracic extension of the disease in patients diagnosed with lung cancer and who had whole-body F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT imaging and to investigate whether there is a relationship between tumor size and extrathoracic spread.A total of 308 patients diagnosed with lung ...

Quantifying myocardial inflammation using F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in cardiac sarcoidosis [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2014 Sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown etiology which is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in multiple organs. Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis, which occurs in at least one in four patients, is associated with a worse prognosis and significant morbidity from conduction abnormalities, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure ...

F18‑fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for bone hemangiopericytoma
Molecular and Clinical Oncology, 2017 Bone hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is extremely rare, and its clinical manifestations and radiographic features are nonspecific. There are few case reports about application of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in HPC.

Indian Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2013 A primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the thoraco-abdominal region is one of a group of small round cell tumors usually found in children and young adults, originally described by Askin et al. Most cases arise in the soft-tissues of the thorax, but may rarely occur within the lung with the symptoms of chest wall pain, pleural effusion and dyspnea.

Quantitative F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography accurately characterizes peripheral nerve sheath tumors as malignant or benign [PDF]
Cancer, 2009 AbstractBACKGROUND:Correct pretreatment classification is critical for optimizing diagnosis and treatment of patients with peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) can differentiate malignant (MPNST) from benign PNSTs.METHODS:Thirty‐four adult ...

Prognostic Assessment of Interim F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Esophageal Cancer Treated With Chemoradiation With or Without Surgery [PDF]
Cureus, 2022 Purpose This study aimed to evaluate if the F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F18-FDG PET) response after two weeks of chemoradiation for locoregionally advanced esophageal cancer (staged Tumor (T) 3 and/or Nodes (N)+ Metastases (M) 0) was linked to the pathologic response for patients undergoing surgery, to disease-free survival ...

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

Headache attributed to giant cell arteritis complicated with rheumatic polymyalgia diagnosed with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography: a case report [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 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).
