Diabetes 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...
متن کاملF-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 کاملHepatic tuberculosis: a rare cause of fluorodeoxyglucose hepatic superscan with background suppression on positron emission tomography.
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) hepatic superscan refers to the diffuse intense uptake of 18F-FDG in the liver on positron emission tomography (PET), with reduced physiological activity in the brain and heart. The common causes include lymphoma and metastasis. In this case report, we describe the imaging features of tuberculosis as a rare cause of FDG hepatic superscan. PET imaging may be the only clu...
متن کاملExtra-articular knee lesion with high fluorodeoxyglucose-uptake on positron emission tomography.
Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon musculoskeletal tumor that is typically benign and often diagnosed radiologically by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging tool primarily used in oncology to evaluate malignancy. FDG measures metabolic activity with standardized uptake value (SUV). A high SUV is su...
