The role of delayed 18F-FDG PET imaging in the follow-up of patients with alveolar echinococcosis.
UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG PET has already proved its usefulness in the follow-up of patients with alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and has been proposed as a surrogate marker for therapeutic decisions on structured treatment interruption by benzimidazoles. However, standard PET acquisition (1 h after (18)F-FDG injection) lacks sensitivity, and the parasite may stay viable even if (18)F-FDG perilesional ...

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 کاملAnalysis of the clinical value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in hepatic alveolar echinococcosis before and after autologous liver transplantation
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in advanced liver alveolar echinococcosis (LAE) prior to and following autologous liver transplantation (ALT). The biodistribution of lesions in 8 patients was recorded using 18F-FDG PET/CT prior to and following surgery. The maximum standardized...
متن کاملFactors influencing the pattern and intensity of myocardial 18F-FDG uptake in oncologic PET-CT imaging
Introduction:Myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is highly variable in oncologic whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT studies, ranging from quite intense to minimal distribution. Intense or heterogeneous myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is undesirable as it may interfere with the visual or quantitative evaluation of tumoral invasion and metastases in pericardium, myocardiu...
