Scar sarcoidosis on 18F-FDG PET/CT
18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an important imaging modality in the clinical workup of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders which present quite often with a fever of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disorder with a wide clinical spectrum that can involve different organs. The diagno...
متن کاملFOCUS ISSUE ON CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS Role of PET/ CT for the Identification of Cardiac Sarcoid Disease
Sarcoidosis reflects a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the formation of non-caseating granuloma in various organs. Cardiac involvement may occur in one out of four patients accounting for an increased mortality rate in these patients. F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography( F-FDG-PET)is increasingly applied for the detection and characte...
متن کاملSomatostatin receptor based PET/CT in patients with the suspicion of cardiac sarcoidosis: an initial comparison to cardiac MRI
Diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis is often challenging. Whereas cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) are most commonly used to evaluate patients, PET/CT using radiolabeled somatostatin receptor (SSTR) ligands for visualization of inflammation might represent a more specific alternative. This study...
متن کاملPericardial sarcoidosis presenting as PUO diagnosed on FDG PET CT scan
Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a common problem in day-to-day practice. FDG PET CT is an established investigation that aids in identifying the cause of PUO. Due to its high sensitivity PET detects an occult hypermetabolic focus in the body where CT helps in anatomical localization, vascularity, enhancement characteristics of the lesion detected on PET. It helps to differentiate benign vers...
متن کاملCardiac MRI and FDG-PET in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis
Methods 30 patients meeting Japanese Ministry of Health & Welfare guidelines [2] for clinical cardiac sarcoidosis were investigated with FDG-PET CT (Gemini TF Philips) and CMRI (Aera 1.5T Siemens) on the same day. Patients undergoing FDG-PET followed a 24 hour low-carbohydrate diet and overnight fast [3]. CMRI examination included SSFP assessment of left ventricular (LV) function, short axis T2...
