Diagnosis of prostatitis by 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
A 74-year-old man, who underwent renal transplantation in April 2007 for end-stage renal failure caused by chronic glomerulonephritis, was admitted in August 2008 for fever (38.5◦C) without orientation symptoms. He had history of essential hypertension, diabetes and ischaemic cardiopathy. The patient had presented two episodes of isolated fever in June 2007, with negative bacteriology, which re...
متن کاملF-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumors
Positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG-PET) has been proven useful for differentiating pancreatic ductal cancer from mass-forming chronic pancreatitis. However, there are particular pancreatic tumors having various grades of malignancy such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. We examined whether the cut-off valu...
متن کامل18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for tuberculosis diagnosis and management: a case series
BACKGROUND F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is increasingly used to investigate for malignancy in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules, yet both active tuberculosis (TB) and malignancy have high uptake of FDG. Definitive diagnosis of TB can be further hindered in patients without growth of the organism from sputum. CASE PRESENTATIONS We describe a series of four repr...
متن کاملF-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for differential diagnosis and prognosis prediction of vascular tumors
The spectrum of vascular tumors ranges from hemangioma (HEM), to epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and to angiosarcoma (AS). To the best of our knowledge, the usefulness of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for vascular tumors has never been comprehensively studied. The present study investigated the usefulness of FDG-PET for pathologically diagnosed vascular t...
متن کاملAppropriate use of positron emission tomography with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose for staging of oncology patients.
Positron emission tomography (PET) was developed in the mid-1970, and its initial applications were for heart and brain imaging research. Nowadays, this technology is aimed mainly at staging or restaging tumours as it allows the assessment of biochemical processes that are either specific or associated with tumour biology. The full appreciation of PET potentials and limitations among general pr...
