Findings on Fluorine-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in a Patient with Malignant Pheochromocytoma
UNLABELLED Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors arising from chromaffin cells of the sympathoadrenal system and 85% of them are located in the adrenal medulla. Malignant pheochromocytomas account for 10% of all pheochromocytomas. Since clinical, biochemical and histopathological features can not reliably distinguish malignant from benign tumors, malignancy is established in the presence of distant...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کاملClinical Significance of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Avid Prostate Gland Incidentalomas on Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of incidental focal uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the prostate glands of cancer patients. METHODS A retrospective review of 3122 consecutive male patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT studies with an oncologic indication, over the course of fou...
متن کاملDiagnosis 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 کاملFluorodeoxyglucose F(18) Positron Emission Tomography Coupled With Computed Tomography in Suspected Acute Renal Allograft Rejection.
Management of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with suspected acute rejection (AR) ultimately relies on kidney biopsy; however, noninvasive tests predicting nonrejection would help avoid unnecessary biopsy. AR involves recruitment of leukocytes avid for fluorodeoxyglucose F(18) ((18) F-FDG), thus (18) F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) coupled with computed tomography (CT) may noninvas...
