Evaluation of therapeutic response to donepezil by positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Donepezil hydrochloride (Donepezil) is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) that is used for the symptomatic treatment of Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type (DAT). Recently, the effects of AChEI in patients with DAT have been investigated using positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). This study is to evaluate the usefulness of fluo...
متن کاملLeopard skin appearance of cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa on 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.
An 8-year-old girl was referred to us with fever, erythematous papules and painful subcutaneous nodules located over her extremities and bilateral arthritis of the ankles and knees. Laboratory findings revealed leucocytosis (13 410/mm) and elevated CRP concentration (1.4 mg/dl) and ESR (61 mm/h). MRI of the thighs revealed multiple high-signal nodular lesions throughout the subcutaneous tissue ...
متن کاملEarly metabolic response evaluation after stereotactic radiotherapy for lung cancer: pilot experience with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography.
The early response of lung tumours to stereotactic radiotherapy was prospectively evaluated with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Three months after treatment, the maximum standardised uptake value and the tumour diameter fell by 64 and 30%, respectively. This imaging strategy therefore remains under ongoing evaluation with the aim of identifying predicti...
متن کاملThe role of positron emission tomography for evaluation of lung nodules and staging lung cancer
Positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) and the clinical use of this imaging technology has developed rapidly during the last decade, especially in the field of lung cancer. This review includes a brief introduction to the technology; including limitations and pitfalls as well as practical considerations with regard to patient preparation and scan acquisition. Through a p...
متن کاملResponse Evaluation after Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation by Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
PURPOSE Parameters of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) were compared with the results of histopathologic examination in order to determine which can provide an objective indication of response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation for treatment of thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between August 2003 and January 2010, data on 25 patie...
