Abstract B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) which rarely involves the skin primarily. The positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-D: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous B-LBL were presented. PET/CT scan demonstrated mild FDG up...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to explore the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the primary staging of gastric cancer in the comparison of ceCT as routine staging method and evaluate influencing parameters of 18F-FDG uptake. METHODS Thirty-one patients (mean age: 58.9±12.6) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for primary staging of gastric cancer between June 2011 and June 2012 were included to the stud...

A 67-year-old female patient with no prior history of benign thyroid disease was diagnosed with primary thyroid lymphoma and was staged with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). She was treated with chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy, and a follow-up PET/CT showed significant reduction in the size of the thyroid lymphoma...

A 49-year-old male patient with a prior history of poor compliance with medical appointments was referred for an 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the staging of a rectal squamous cell carcinoma. The PET/CT showed unilateral diffuse skeletal muscle 18F-FDG uptake as well as bilateral salivary gland uptake artifacts, suggestive o...

BACKGROUND Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a B cell neoplasm causing lytic or osteopenic bone abnormalities. Whole body skeletal survey (WBSS), Magnetic resonance (MR) and 18F-FDG PET/CT are imaging techniques routinely used for the evaluation of bone involvement in MM patients. AIM As MM bone lesions may present low 18F-FDG uptake; the aim of this study was to assess the possible added value and li...

[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) has been reported to have a low sensitivity in the initial diagnosis of bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) due to BAC's low metabolic activity. The aim of this study was to assess the value of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in the detection of BAC recurrence. Between February 2007 and September 2011, the [18F]FDG-PET/CT sca...

2.87 0.82 versus 1.55 0.17; 18F-FDG: 1.58 0.21 versus 1.30 0.13; both P 0.001). 18F-NaF uptake displayed a progressive rise with valve severity (r 0.540, P 0.001), with a more modest increase observed for 18F-FDG (r 0.218, P 0.001). Among patients with aortic stenosis, 91% had increased 18F-NaF uptake ( 1.97), and 35% had increased 18F-FDG uptake ( 1.63). A weak correlation between the activiti...

UNLABELLED Here, we report an experience about 18F-FDG-PET/CT in a patient with an early stage of Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis (IRF). At the diagnosis Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CE-CT) revealed periaortic solid tissue in the infrarenal section and locoregional lymph nodes; findings were interpreted as lymphomatous tissue. 18F-FDG-PET/CT showed elevated 18F-FDG uptake in the p...

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography is a standard diagnostic imaging tool in many types of cancer. Its physiological in vivo distribution includes the brain, liver, heart, kidneys, and urinary tract at 1 h after tracer injection. Skeletal muscle is known to show variable amounts of 18F-FDG uptake because it has a relatively high-glucose metabolism. ...

We aimed to monitor the timing of amyloid-β deposition in relation to changes in brain function using in vivo imaging with [18F]-AV45 and [18F]-FDG in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. TASTPM transgenic mice and wild-type controls were scanned longitudinally with [18F]-AV45 and [18F]-FDG before (3 months of age) and at multiple time points after the onset of amyloid deposition (6, 9, 12, an...
