Intrathoracic Benign Goiter Imaged by 18F-FDG-PET
A 55-year-old woman was referred for a suspicion of mediastinal tumor through plain X-ray photography (X-P). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 3 cm diameter tumor which seemed to connect to the thyroid and projected into the mediastinum. A fine needle aspiration biopsy was tried but could not reach a conclusive diagnosis. Thereby, fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomog...

متن کاملScar sarcoidosis on 18F-FDG PET/CT
18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an important imaging modality in the clinical workup of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders which present quite often with a fever of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disorder with a wide clinical spectrum that can involve different organs. The diagno...
متن کاملPET probes beyond 18F-FDG
During the past several decades, positron emission tomography (PET) has been one of the rapidly growing areas of medical imaging; particularly, its applications in routine oncological practice have been widely recognized. At present, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) is the most broadly used PET probe. However, (18)F-FDG also suffers many limitations. Thus, scientists and clinicians are grea...
