Fluor-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography in differentiated thyroid cancer.
Owing to the development of high resolution scanners and the new possibility of whole body scanning in recent years positron emission tomography has become more and more important in diagnostic imaging, especially for the diagnosis of malignant tumors and their metastases. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a special nuclear medical imaging technique, which is quantitative (correcting for ra...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملThe role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in differentiated thyroid cancer before surgery.
The incidence of thyroid cancer in both men and women is increasing faster than that of any other cancer. Although positron emission tomography (PET) using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has received much attention, the use of FDG PET for the management of thyroid cancer is limited primarily to postoperative follow-up. However, it might have a role in selected, more aggressive pathologies, and ...
متن کاملFluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computerized tomography in differentiated thyroid cancer management: Importance of clinical justification and value in predicting survival.
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the added value of follow-up fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) to clinical assessment and predicting survival outcome in patients with differentiated thyroid cancers. METHODS This is an institutional review board approved, retrospective study of 202 biopsy-proven thyroid cancer patients at a ...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography detected thyroid incidentaloma
We describe the case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with a thyroid lesion incidentally detected on positron emission tomography/computed tomography for a suspicious lung lesion. Subsequent clinical examination and investigations revealed a 3 cm nodule in the left lower pole of the thyroid. Fine needle aspiration was indeterminate for malignancy. A left hemithyroidectomy was performed and ...
