Imaging Atherosclerotic Plaque Inflammation With [F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Background—Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is usually a consequence of inflammatory cell activity within the plaque. Current imaging techniques provide anatomic data but no indication of plaque inflammation. The glucose analogue [F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) can be used to image inflammatory cell activity non-invasively by PET. In this study we tested whether FDG-PET imaging can identify inflamma...
متن کاملImaging Infection and Inflammation with F-18 FDG-PET
N uclear medicine plays an important role in the evaluation of inflammation and infection. Radionuclide imaging is complementary to CT in the postoperative patient and is used to help differentiate postoperative changes from infection. In the case of painful joint replacement, radionuclide studies are the primary diagnostic imaging modality for differentiating infection from other causes of pro...
متن کاملRole of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography imaging in the management of primary cutaneous lymphomas.
Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) include both cutaneous T-cell and B-cell lymphomas and comprise the second most common type of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The treatment and prognosis of PCLs typically depend on the extent of disease. In evaluating extent of disease in oncological processes, computed tomography (CT) provides a purely anatomical assessment of disease. In comparison, [...

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 کامل(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and MR imaging findings in Rasmussen encephalitis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rasmussen encephalitis is a chronic, progressive encephalitis that manifests as an abrupt-onset, intractable seizure disorder in previously developmentally normal children. The objectives of the current study were to characterize the (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and MR imaging findings in Rasmussen encephalitis and to test the hypothes...
