Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 2008Accurate anatomical localization of functional abnormalities obtained with the use of positron emission tomography (PET) is known to be problematic. Although tracers such as (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) visualize certain normal anatomical structures, the spatial resolution is generally inadequate for accurate anatomic localization of pathology.

Positron emission tomography computed tomography in oncology
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2011The role of positron emission tomography computed tomography in oncological imaging has rapidly evolved. It has proven itself to be cost effective and alters patient management in a significant proportion of cases. This article discusses its current and future applications.

Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Melanoma
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2013Fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been invaluable in the assessment of melanoma throughout the course of the disease. As with any modality, the studies are incomplete and more information will be gleaned as our experience progresses.

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2007
This article reviews the potential use of positron emission tomography (PET), alone and in combination with computed tomography, for evaluating the severity of disease in cystic fibrosis. PET scanning using injected 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose provides visual and quantitative information for the rate at which glucose is taken up by the lung, a process that ...

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 ...

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography evaluation for choriocarcinoma
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2008having symptoms for an extended period before seeking medical advice (ranging between 1 and 180 months). Cervical cancer tends not to have symptoms in the early stages of disease and most women seek care only once they have become symptomatic; however, early symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, contact bleeding or moderate pain ...

Positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1996Neuroimaging techniques have had a dramatic impact on the evaluation and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In order to take full advantage of their potential, it is important to place them in clinical and electrophysiological context and to understand their technical limitations. Positron emission tomography with 18F-2-deoxyglucose and single photon

Pediatric Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography Protocol Considerations
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2008Pediatric body oncology positron emission tomography-computed tomography studies require special considerations for optimal diagnostic performance while limiting radiation exposure to young patients. Differences from routine adult procedures include the patient preparation phase, radiopharmaceutical dose, computed tomography acquisition parameters, and

Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Liver Imaging
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2013The relatively new technique of positron emission tomography (PET) that incorporates both anatomy and function is increasingly being utilized in oncological imaging. This review assesses the use of PET of the liver for optimal and appropriate patient clinical management.
