Seventy FDG-PET/CT cases in which nuclear medicine physicians suspected lymphoma: How reliable are we?
Objective(s): To validate the reliability of nuclear medicine physicians in diagnosing lymphoma using positron emission tomography/computed tomography using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG-PET/CT) and to determine findings that reliably suggest lymphoma.Methods: Seventy patients suspected of having lymphoma using FDG-PET/CT were enrolled in this retrospective study. Two nuclear medicine ph...
متن کاملInterobserver and Intraobserver Variability among Measurements of FDG PET/CT Parameters in Pulmonary Tumors.
BACKGROUND 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) provides information about metabolic and morphologic status of malignancies. Tumor size and standardized uptake value (SUV) measurements are crucial for cancer treatment monitoring. AIMS The purpose of our study was to assess the variability of these measurements performed by observers evaluating...
متن کاملEarly detection of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma by 18FDG-PET/CT with diffuse FDG uptake in the lung without respiratory symptoms or chest CT abnormalities
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of systemic extranodal non-Hodgkin diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We report a rare case of IVLBCL who showed diffuse 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lung in FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) without respiratory symptoms or chest CT abnormalities. Serum biochemical studies...
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 کاملPredictive Efficacy of Interim Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) for the Treatment of Aggressive Lymphoma
The prognostic value of whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) shortly after the onset of induction chemotherapy or mid treatment could help to predict long-term clinical outcomes in patients with Hodgkin's or Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, FDG is not a tumor-specific substance, and it may accumulate to the point of being...
