[18F]-fluoro-l-thymidine PET and advanced MRI for preoperative grading of gliomas
PURPOSE Conventional MRI based on contrast enhancement is often not sufficient in differentiating grade II from grade III and grade III from grade IV diffuse gliomas. We assessed advanced MRI, MR spectroscopy and [(18)F]-fluoro-l-thymidine ([(18)F]-FLT) PET as tools to overcome these limitations. METHODS In this prospective study, thirty-nine patients with diffuse gliomas of grades II, III or...
متن کاملDetection and grading of soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities with (18)F-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine.
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of (18)F-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine positron emission tomography (FLT-PET) for the detection and grading of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Nineteen patients with 20 STSs of the extremities were scanned, using attenuation corrected whole-body FLT-PET. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) and tumor:nontumor ratios ...
متن کاملCis-4-[(18)F]fluoro-L-proline PET imaging of pulmonary fibrosis in a rabbit model.
UNLABELLED A fluorinated analog of proline amino acid, cis-4-[(18)F]fluoro-L-proline (FP), was tested for potential use in PET for detection and evaluation of pulmonary response to respirable crystalline silica. The purpose of the study was to determine whether PET imaging with FP is sensitive for detection of pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS Experimental silicosis was produced in rabbits by airwa...
متن کاملDetection and Grading of Soft Tissue Sarcomas of the Extremities with F-3 -Fluoro-3 -Deoxy-L-Thymidine
Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of F-3 -fluoro-3 -deoxy-L-thymidine positron emission tomography (FLT-PET) for the detection and grading of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Experimental Design: Nineteen patients with 20 STSs of the extremities were scanned, using attenuation corrected whole-body FLT-PET. Standardized uptake values (SUVs) and tumor:nontumor ratios (TNT...
متن کاملImaging of advanced neuroendocrine tumors with (18)F-FDOPA PET.
UNLABELLED Nuclear medicine plays an important role in the imaging of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) with (111)In-labeled somatostatin receptor analogs is a standard procedure for the detection and staging of NET. Based on the ability of NETs to store biogenic amines, this study evaluated whether 6-(18)F-fluoro-L-DOPA ((18)F-FDOPA) is a suitable PET trace...
