Teflon-induced granuloma: a false-positive finding with PET resolved with combined PET and CT.
Patients who have undergone thyroidectomy may have recurrent laryngeal nerve injury; until recently, Teflon injection was commonly used for vocal cord medialization. We present a case of a patient who underwent thyroidectomy who had significantly increased and unilateral (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the neck, which was found to be localized to the left vocal cord by use of combined positr...

The teflon hip arthroplasty design was used by Sir John Charnley in the early 60's but was taken off the market due to high complication rates.

Combined PET an...
متن کاملWhole-Teflon microfluidic chips.
Although microfluidics has shown exciting potential, its broad applications are significantly limited by drawbacks of the materials used to make them. In this work, we present a convenient strategy for fabricating whole-Teflon microfluidic chips with integrated valves that show outstanding inertness to various chemicals and extreme resistance against all solvents. Compared with other microfluid...
