Positron emission tomography with f18-fluorodeoxyglucose in the staging and preoperative evaluation of malignant pleural mesothelioma [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of positron emission tomography with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose in the preoperative evaluation and staging of malignant mesothelioma in patients who were candidates for aggressive combined modality therapy.Eighteen consecutive patients with biopsy-proven malignant mesothelioma underwent positron ...

"Superscan" features have been described in 18F FDG PET-CT (F18 fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography‑Computed Tomography) scan; characterized by significantly increased uptake in one or more organ systems resulting in absent or decreased uptake in the organs which normally show physiological uptake.

The Extent of Perfusion–F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Mismatch Determines Mortality in Medically Treated Patients With Chronic Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to assess the determinants of mortality in a large group of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who are treated medically and the impact of the extent of viable tissue on prognosis.Whether the presence of viability drives mortality in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who are treated medically and whether the extent ...

F18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography and computed tomography is not accurate in preoperative staging of gastric cancer [PDF]
To investigate the clinical benefits of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography and computed tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET/CT) over multi-detector row CT (MDCT) in preoperative staging of gastric cancer.FDG-PET/CT and MDCT were performed on 78 patients with gastric cancer pathologically diagnosed by endoscopy. The accuracy of radiologic staging

F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose–Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Screening in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome [PDF]
Individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have an inherited cancer predisposition to a diverse array of malignancies beginning early in life; survivors of one cancer have a markedly elevated risk of additional primary tumors. The underlying genetic defect in the majority of the families is a germline mutation in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene.

Prediction of functional recovery after revascularization is possible with positron emission tomography and F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Recently, the use of FDG in combination with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), with 511 keV collimators, has been proposed to allow more widespread use of FDG.

Quantifying metabolic decrement in brain FDG-PET of a complex frontotemporal dementia case [PDF]
Diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) in its initial stages can be supported by brain [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET).

Sequential Imaging Characteristics and Potential Role of F18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/CT in the Evaluation of Treatment Response in Cases of Spinal Tuberculosis Without Neurological Involvement: Results From a Pilot Study [PDF]
Purpose In this non-randomized study, we prospectively studied the sequential imaging properties of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and evaluated the role of FDG PET as a non-invasive imaging modality ...
