The value of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT in oesophageal cancer
[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) is recognized as a useful adjunct to conventional imaging with CT and endoscopic ultrasonography for the staging of oesophageal cancer, for response assessment and identification of recurrent disease and it may provide prognostic information.
متن کاملIncidental gastrointestinal 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake associated with lung cancer
BACKGROUND F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is increasingly used for the initial staging and restaging of lung cancer. Incidental gastrointestinal findings are often observed on (18)F-FDG PET/CT. The objective of this study was to assess incidental 18F-FDG uptake by the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in patients with lung cancer. METHODS Two...
متن کاملCardiac imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/MRI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
A 57-year-old female was referred to our hospital for severe left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Although she had no symptoms and no history of hypertension, echocardiography demonstrated severe LVH in the mid LV to the apex with no asymmetric septal hypertrophy. Thus, we suspected apical type of HCM and performed FDG-PET/MRI. After fasting for more than 18 hours, the patient was administered u...
متن کاملTriage of Limited Versus Extensive Disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan in Small Cell lung Cancer
Objective(s): Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma, which accounts for 10-15% of pulmonary cancers and exhibits early metastatic spread. This study aimed to determine the added value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging of SCLC, compared to the conventional computed tomography (CT) scan and its potential role as a prognosticat...
متن کاملPrimary hepatic (extranodal) lymphoma: utility of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT
Primary hepatic lymphoma is extremely rare. Although the utility of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging extranodal lymphoma has been reported, there is very little literature describing its use in primary hepatic lymphoma. This case report demonstrates the effect of FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT) in a case of unifocal primary hepatic lymphoma and its useful...
