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 Screening in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome [PDF]
JAMA, 2008 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.
