Clinical Significance of Testicular FDG-PET/CT Uptake in Aggressive Lymphomas

Lesion Location in Clinical Significance of Incidental Colorectal FDG Uptake

We agree with Roh et al.1 that cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions may be harboured by the finding of incidental F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET) scan. This study-and our own data2-advocates for urgent investigation of such findings, especially considering the treatment implications for patients undergoing therapy for other established malignancies (whic...

FDG 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...

Clinical and radiological study of three cases of aggressive course testicular lymphomas.

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and radiological features, and the role of imaging in diagnosis and extension study of testicular lymphoma (TL). METHODS Testicular and inguinal color Doppler ultrasound, extension-study Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT), and Doppler ultrasound and MDCT in an upper extermity metastasis were performed. RESULTS Case 1: A 65-year-old man with TL 11 yea...

Reduced-dose [F]-FDG PETCT scanning with current generation PETCT systems

Clinical Significance of Diffuse (18)F-FDG Uptake in Residual Thyroid Gland after Unilateral Thyroid Lobectomy.

PURPOSE We investigated the clinical significance of diffuse uptake in remaining thyroid after unilateral lobectomy for thyroid cancer. METHODS A total of 144 thyroid cancer patients who underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT after lobectomy were enrolled in the present study. The PET/CT images were evaluated for the presence of diffuse (18)F-FDG uptake with maximum SUV (SUVmax) >2.0 in the residual thyr...
