FDG PETCT in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...
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 کاملUsefulness of fasting 18F-FDG PET in identification of cardiac sarcoidosis.
UNLABELLED Cardiac PET using (18)F-FDG under fasting conditions (fasting (18)F-FDG PET) is a promising technique for identification of cardiac sarcoidosis and assessment of disease activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of fasting (18)F-FDG PET in detecting inflammatory lesions of cardiac sarcoidosis from a pathophysiologic standpoint. METHODS Twenty-two patients wi...
متن کاملFasting Hypoglycemia on 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan
A 74-year-old woman with a histological diagnosis of lung cancer underwent F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for staging. She complained of headache and palpitations during the exam. Her blood glucose level was low at 2.4 mmol/L. We administered an intravenous glucose injection, and the level rapidly rose to 4.0 mmol/L after which her symptoms ...
متن کاملMotion frozen 18F-FDG cardiac PET
BACKGROUND PET reconstruction incorporating spatially variant 3D Point Spread Function (PSF) improves contrast and image resolution. "Cardiac Motion Frozen" (CMF) processing eliminates the influence of cardiac motion in static summed images. We have evaluated the combined use of CMF- and PSF-based reconstruction for high-resolution cardiac PET. METHODS Static and 16-bin ECG-gated images of 20...
