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

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 ...

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).

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 ...

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]
Diagn Interv RadiolPURPOSE 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

IJC Heart & VasculatureBACKGROUND: (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is recommended for diagnosis and evaluation of therapy in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). OBJECTIVES: FDG uptake parameters were investigated semi-quantitatively in biopsy-proven CS at time of diagnosis (CSD) and during immunosuppressive therapy (CST) and in controls ...

Oncology Letters, 2017 It has been reported that F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the neck and supraclavicular lesions represents activated brown adipose tissue (BAT). In the present study, the association between BAT activity, detected by FDG-positron emission tomography (PET), and the clinicopathological features of patients with breast cancer was investigated.
