A dual tracer 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT pilot study for detection of cardiac sarcoidosis
BACKGROUND Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a potentially fatal condition lacking a single test with acceptable diagnostic accuracy. (18)F-FDG PET/CT has emerged as a promising imaging modality, but is challenged by physiological myocardial glucose uptake. An alternative tracer, (68)Ga-DOTANOC, binds to somatostatin receptors on inflammatory cells in sarcoid granulomas. We therefore aimed to conduct...
متن کاملFDG PETCT in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...
متن کاملPreoperative characterization of indeterminate large adrenal masses with dual tracer PET-CT using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose and gallium-68-DOTANOC: initial results.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of dual tracer positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and gallium-68 [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid]-1-NaI3-octreotide (68Ga-DOTANOC) in preoperative characterization of large indeterminate adrenal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients (four males, six f...
