Clinical use of 11C-methionine and 18F-FDG-PET for germinoma in central nervous system
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the (11)C-methionine (MET) and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) findings of central nervous system (CNS) germinoma and the diagnostic utility of these findings. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the cases of 10 patients who were diagnosed with CNS germinoma according to their histopathological or clinical f...
متن کاملPET Imaging of 18F-FDG, 11C-methionine, 11C-flumazenil, and 11C-4DST in Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
The use of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) has rarely been reported. We herein report a set of PET images in a 63-year-old patient with PML. In PML lesions, the uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose, 11C-methionine, 11C-flumazenil, and [methyl-11C]4'-thiothymidine was decreased, increased, decreased, and unchanged, respectively. These re...
متن کاملPET findings of intramedullary tumors of the spinal cord using [18F] FDG and [11C] methionine.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Only a few reports on intramedullary tumors of the spinal cord using PET have been published. We report findings of PET by using [(18)F] fluorodeoxyglucose and [(11)C] methionine and discuss the usefulness of the findings in patients with intramedullary tumors of the spinal cord. MATERIALS AND METHODS PET/CT was performed in 9 patients with intramedullary tumors of the ...
متن کاملProstate cancer: PET with 18F-FDG, 18F- or 11C-acetate, and 18F- or 11C-choline.
Prostate cancer is biologically and clinically a heterogeneous disease that makes imaging evaluation challenging. The role of imaging in prostate cancer should include diagnosis, localization, and characterization (indolent vs. lethal) of the primary tumor, determination of extracapsular spread, guidance and evaluation of local therapy in organ-confined disease, staging of locoregional lymph no...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
This paper summarizes the usefulness and limitation of positron emission tomography (PET) with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) in the diagnosis and treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The (18)F-FDG uptake in typical PCNSL is about 2.5 times higher than that in the normal gray matter, and the tumor can usually be identified visually. The (18)F-FDG uptake pattern an...
