Cardiac FDG-PET: a straight forward tool with high potential.
The latter component is based on the fact that homing into ischaemic tissue is mediated by stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 expression in the myocardium which binds to its corresponding receptor CXCR-4 on circulating stem cells. SDF-1 is usually inactivated by enzymatic cleavage via dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). Hence, pharmacological inhibition of DPP-IV stabilizes SDF-1 and enhances st...
متن کامل[18F]FDG PET/CT in a case of recurrent primary cardiac osteosarcoma
Primary cardiac osteosarcoma is a very rare malignancy with a high incidence of local recurrence and systemic metastasis, contributing to the poor prognosis. Radiological modalities are commonly used for the evaluation of cardiac masses. 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography is a valuable whole-body imaging modality in ...
متن کاملMotion frozen 18F-FDG cardiac PET
BACKGROUND PET reconstruction incorporating spatially variant 3D Point Spread Function (PSF) improves contrast and image resolution. "Cardiac Motion Frozen" (CMF) processing eliminates the influence of cardiac motion in static summed images. We have evaluated the combined use of CMF- and PSF-based reconstruction for high-resolution cardiac PET. METHODS Static and 16-bin ECG-gated images of 20...
متن کاملPotential Utility of FDG PET-CT as a Non-invasive Tool for Monitoring Local Immune Responses
Purpose The tumor microenvironment is known to be associated with the metabolic activity of cancer cells and local immune reactions. We hypothesized that glucose metabolism measured by 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) (18F-FDG PET-CT) would be associated with local immune responses evaluated according to the presence of tumor ...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with 18F-FDG PET.
Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is associated with poor prognosis. (18)F-FDG PET can detect the presence of cardiac sarcoidosis, assess disease activity, and serve as a means to monitor treatment response in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis.
