Cervical Cancer: Positron Emission Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
2009Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Imaging has not traditionally played a large role in the diagnosis and staging of cervical cancer. Staging of cervical cancer, due to the high incidence in developing countries, is largely based on clinical examination per the Internationale de Gynecologie et ...

Role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
2016Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates are extremely variable around the world. CRC is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in both genders [1]. Many patients are cured with initial surgery for primary disease and postoperative chemotherapy.

Respiratory Motion in Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography: A Review
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2008The development of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanners has allowed not only straightforward but also synergistic fusion of anatomical and functional information. Combined PET/CT imaging yields an increased sensitivity and specificity beyond that which either of the 2 modalities possesses separately and therefore provides ...

Clinical applications of positron emission tomography-computed tomography in oncology
Indian Journal of Cancer, 2010Positron emission computed tomography (PET) is a functional diagnostic imaging technique, which can accurately measure in vivo distribution of a variety of radiopharmaceuticals. The ability of PET to study various biological processes (glucose, amino acid, phospholipids, receptors etc.) opens up new possibilities for both day-to-day clinical use and ...

Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography: A Guide for the General Radiologist
Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal, 2015Cancer remains a leading cause of death in Canada and worldwide. Whilst advances in anatomical imaging to detect and monitor malignant disease have continued over the last few decades, limitations remain. Functional imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET), has improved the sensitivity and specificity in detecting malignant disease.

Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography Patient Management and Workflow
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2008This article reviews the major considerations involved in optimizing positron emission tomography-computed tomographic (PET-CT) workflows including patient management and specific acquisition, processing, and archiving procedures. Due to the dual modality nature of PET-CT and the needs of the patients typically undergoing these examinations, there is a

Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography: The Current Technology and Applications
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2009Positron emission tomography (PET) and combined PET/CT provide powerful metabolic and anatomical information together in a single exam. This article reviews the fundamentals of PET physics, the state of the art and future directions in PET technology, and the current clinical applications of PET.

International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 2004
The advent of positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/computed tomography (CT) now enables us to detect metabolically active gynecologic cancers with greater accuracy than was possible with anatomic imagings. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET has been useful in differentiation of malignant from benign lymph nodes, and residual or recurrent cancers ...

Positron emission tomography–computed tomography for surgeons
2016Abstract Common indications and the basic principles for positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging are outlined in this chapter with a focus on application to the surgical management of cancer patients. The imaging physics is unique owing to the use of antimatter (positrons).
