Evaluation of Simultaneous Dual-radioisotope SPECT Imaging Using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and 99mTc-tetrofosmin
Objective(s): Use of a positron emission tomography (PET)/single-photonemission computed tomography (SPECT) system facilitates the simultaneousacquisition of images with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) andtechnetium (99mTc)-tetrofosmin. However, 18F has a short half-life, and 511keV Compton-scattered photons are detected in the 99mTc energy window.Therefore, in this study, we aimed to ...
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 کامل[18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-CT imaging of carotidynia.
Carotidynia is an idiopathic syndrome characterized by pain over the carotid bifurcation without associated luminal pathologic process. The classification of carotidynia as a distinct disease rather than as a symptom has generated controversy in the literature. Recent reports, however, suggest that carotidynia is a distinct disease characterized by the presence of enhancing soft tissue in the c...
متن کاملImaging atherosclerotic plaque inflammation with [18F]-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 [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) can be used to image inflammatory cell activity non-invasively by PET. In this study we tested whether 18FDG-PET imaging can identify in...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Positron Emission Mammography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in Breast Cancer Tumor of Less than 20 mm in Size
Objective(s): To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission mammography (PEM) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for small breast tumors of less than 20 mm in size.Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 100 subjects (i.e., 50 patients with pathologically proven breast cancer and 50 normal cases of medical screening). The total number of tumors wa...
