F18 FDG PET uptake for the staging of Castleman disease and co-incidental uptake in lactating breast
Castleman Disease (CD) is an interesting and relatively rare lymphoproliferative disorder. The managemet of this entity depends to the presence of one or more than one foci. FDG PET is a novel diagnostic method to detect the unicentricity or multicentricity of the tumor. Here PET findings of a case with CD have been reported and co-incidental lactating breast uptake has been presented.
متن کاملPhysiological uptake in FDG PET simulating disease
Many potential pitfalls and artefacts have been described in PET imaging that uses F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Normal uptake of FDG occurs in many sites of the body and may cause confusion in interpretation particularly in oncology imaging. Clinical correlation, awareness of the areas of normal uptake of FDG in the body and knowledge of variation in uptake as well as benign processes that ar...
متن کاملFactors influencing the pattern and intensity of myocardial 18F-FDG uptake in oncologic PET-CT imaging
Introduction:Myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is highly variable in oncologic whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT studies, ranging from quite intense to minimal distribution. Intense or heterogeneous myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is undesirable as it may interfere with the visual or quantitative evaluation of tumoral invasion and metastases in pericardium, myocardiu...
متن کاملRole of FDG-PET/CT in Assessing the Correlation Between Blood Pressure and Myocardial Metabolic Uptake
Objective(s): We aimed to assess the association between blood pressure and LV myocardial uptake of FDG, hypothesizing that subjects with raised blood pressure would have higher FDG uptake. Methods: We analyzed 86 healthy controls who underwent PET/CT imaging 180 minutes following FDG (4 MBq/Kg) administration. LV myocardial analysis was perf...
