Interaction of Colony-Stimulating Factors and Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 Positron Emission Tomography

open access: closedAnnals of Pharmacotherapy, 2002
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate reports of altered diagnostic images with fluorodeoxyglucose F18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) after treatment with colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). DATA SOURCES: Literature was identified by a MEDLINE search (1966–December 2001). Key search terms included granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte—macrophage

Choice of reference area in studies of Alzheimer's disease using positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose-F18

open access: closedPsychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 2008
At present, there is still no consensus on the choice of the reference area in positron emission tomography (PET) studies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, PET scans with fluorodeoxyglucose-F18 were carried out in the following groups of subjects: 47 patients with probable AD, 8 patients with mild cognitive impairment, and 15 age-similar ...

The findings of fluorodeoxyglucose F18 imaging of coincidence single photon emission computed tomography in the lung tuberculoma

open access: closedZhonghua jie he he hu xi za zhi = Zhonghua jiehe he huxi zazhi = Chinese journal of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases, 2010
To assess the uptake of Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 ((18)F-FDG) coincidence single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging in lung tuberculoma.We enrolled 27 cases with 29 tuberculomas confirmed by clinical diagnosis. (18)F-FDG triple-head coincidence imaging was performed. The intensity of uptake was graded by visual method and the relationship

The stripe of primary lateral sclerosis: focal primary motor cortex hypometabolism seen on fluorodeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography. [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Neurology, 2010
BACKGROUND Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a progressive upper motor neuron neurodegenerative condition. The diagnosis is made using clinical history, objective neurological assessment, and exclusion of other neurodegenerative disorders.

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, 2014
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.

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 ...

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.

Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer PET Imaging Beyond F18 Fluorodeoxyglucose.

PET Clinics, 2018
F18 Flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) is a nonspecific PET tracer representing tumor energy metabolism, with common false-positive and false-negative findings in clinical practice. Non-small cell lung cancer is highly heterogeneous histologically, biologically, and molecularly.

Hemispheric asymmetries of hypometabolism associated with semantic memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease: a study using positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose-F18

Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 2004
Considerable disagreement exists about the neuroanatomical basis of conceptual-semantic impairments observed in a subgroup of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) at mild to moderate stages of the disease. Several studies of groups of patients have shown correlations between focal hypometabolism or hypoperfusion in left hemispheric areas and measures
