Translational 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging to monitor lesion activity in intestinal inflammation.
UNLABELLED In patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and in murine IBD models, mucosal disease activity is routinely assessed by endoscopy and histologic evaluation. This information is valuable for monitoring treatment response, with mucosal healing being a major treatment goal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the translational potential of noninvasive (18)F-FDG PET/CT for the as...
متن کاملInflammation and infection: imaging properties of 18F-FDG-labeled white blood cells versus 18F-FDG.
UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG and (18)F-FDG-labeled white blood cells ((18)F-FDG-WBCs) are valuable radiopharmaceuticals for imaging focal sites of inflammation and infection. In the present study, the imaging properties of both radiotracers were compared in sterile and septic inflammation models. METHODS Groups of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (100-120 g) were injected in the left posterior thigh mu...
متن کاملFDG 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 کاملVascular inflammation imaging with 18F-FDG PET/CT: when to image?
UNLABELLED We prospectively investigated the ideal imaging time to measure vascular uptake after injection of (18)F-FDG. METHODS A total of 17 patients with atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent dynamic abdominal PET/CT using 2-min frames between 45 and 53, 57 and 65, 115 and 123, and 175 and 183 min after injection of (18)F-FDG. For each period of dynamic imaging, vessel wall a...
متن کاملDetection of Atherosclerotic Inflammation by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Compared to [18F]FDG PET Imaging
BACKGROUND Inflammation drives atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Although inflammation can be measured using fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG PET), [18F]FDG lacks cell specificity, and coronary imaging is unreliable because of myocardial spillover. OBJECTIVES This study tested the efficacy of gallium-68-labeled DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTATATE), a somatostati...
