Attenuation-Corrected Tc-Tetrofosmin Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography in the Detection of Viable Myocardium: Comparison With Positron Emission Tomography Using F-Fluorodeoxyglucose
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of attenuation-corrected (AC) technetium-99m (Tc)tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in detecting viable myocardium compared to Ffluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). Background. The role of Tc-labeled perfusion tracers in the assessment of myocardial viability remains controversia...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography.
Neuroimaging techniques have had a dramatic impact on the evaluation and treatment of patients with epilepsy. In order to take full advantage of their potential, it is important to place them in clinical and electrophysiological context and to understand their technical limitations. Positron emission tomography with 18F-2-deoxyglucose and single photon emission computed tomography can provide v...
متن کاملAttenuation correction in cardiac positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography.
Quantitation in cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) depends on being able to correct for several physical factors that tend to distort the data. One of the most important of these corrections is the correction for attenuation. For PET, cardiac attenuation correction is a reality, although certain problems remain to be solved. For SPE...
متن کامل18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography detection threshold in follicular lymphoma
RATIONALE Follicular Lymphoma in situ is generally identified as reactive follicular hyperplasia in which some of the hyperplastic germinal centers are colonized by few lymphoma cells. These cells can be detected through their strong 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose avidity. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 70 year-old patient with arthralgia, weight loss and chronic fever over two months. A pa...
متن کامل18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography comparison of gastric lymphoma and gastric carcinoma
AIM To compare (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) features in gastric lymphoma and gastric carcinoma. METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed gastric lymphoma or gastric carcinoma who underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT prior to treatment were included in this study. We reviewed and analyzed the PET/CT features of gastric wall lesions, including ...
