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 ...

Indian Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2013 A primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of the thoraco-abdominal region is one of a group of small round cell tumors usually found in children and young adults, originally described by Askin et al. Most cases arise in the soft-tissues of the thorax, but may rarely occur within the lung with the symptoms of chest wall pain, pleural effusion and dyspnea.

Quantitative F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography accurately characterizes peripheral nerve sheath tumors as malignant or benign [PDF]
Cancer, 2009 AbstractBACKGROUND:Correct pretreatment classification is critical for optimizing diagnosis and treatment of patients with peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs). The aim of this study was to evaluate whether F18‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) can differentiate malignant (MPNST) from benign PNSTs.METHODS:Thirty‐four adult ...

Blood, 2009 AbstractF18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a powerful tool to investigate the role of tumor metabolic activity and its suppression by therapy for cancer survival. As part of Total Therapy 3 for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, metastatic bone survey, magnetic resonance imaging, and FDG-PET scanning were evaluated in 239 ...
