F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کاملMicropapillary pattern in lung adenocarcinoma: aspect on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging.
We diagnosed a non-small cell lung carcinoma in a 49-year-old female patient with the histopathological diagnosis of stage IIIB mixed bronchioloalveolar and papillary adenocarcinoma with extensive micropapillary feature, which was not visualized on the preoperative multimodality imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). The micropapillary component characteri...
متن کاملHistopathologic characterization of lung adenocarcinoma in relation to fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography is reported to have prognostic significance in patients after resection of lung adenocarcinoma. However, its relationship with histopathologic features remains unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 205 patients who had undergone surgical resection of primary lung adenocarcinoma (> 1.0 cm) afte...
متن کاملDiabetes and Vascular 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Uptake
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in North America and Europe. During the natural course of atherosclerosis, inflammation plays a major role in the development of complex plaque lesions containing activated macrophages, foam cells, T lymphocytes, mast cells, and a necrotic lipid-rich core (1). When such a plaque becomes unstable due to uncontrolled inflammation and thinning of ...
متن کاملUncommon reason for high fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography uptake.
A 32-year-old woman presented with a local recurrence of breast cancer. She had first been diagnosed in 2006 with clinical stage II (T4.5 cm N0 M0), triple-negative breast cancer of the left breast; she received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and breast-conserving surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and breast irradiation. She remained disease-free until May 2009, when a 0.9-mm lump appeared in...
