Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 Positron Emission Tomography Coupled With Computed Tomography in Suspected Acute Renal Allograft Rejection [PDF]
American Journal of Transplantation, 2015 Management of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with suspected acute rejection (AR) ultimately relies on kidney biopsy; however, noninvasive tests predicting nonrejection would help avoid unnecessary biopsy.

Imaging Atherosclerosis With F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011 Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. Despite advances in diagnostic imaging and therapy, identification of patients at risk remains challenging. Anatomical imaging of luminal narrowing and determination of plaque size alone have proven to be inadequate ([1][1 ...

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 ...
