Myocardial viability assessment in 18FDG PET/CT study (18FDG PET myocardial viability assessment).
Accurate identification of viable myocardium is crucial in patient qualification for medical or surgical treatment. Only persons with confirmed cardiac viability will benefit from revascularization procedures. It is also well known, that the amount of viable myocardium assessed preoperatively is the best indicator of long term cardiac event free survival after cardiac intervention.There are sev...
متن کامل18F-Fluoride PET in the Assessment of Malignant Bone Disease.
In the 1970s, 18F-labeled sodium fluoride (18F-NaF), one of the most ubiquitous positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals, was briefly used for skeletal scintigraphy before the introduction of 99mTc-labeled diphosphonates with optimal characteristics for conventional g cameras (1,2). 18F-NaF is an analog of the hydroxyl group found in hydroxyapatite bone crystals and therefore an avid bone seeker ...
متن کاملMetabolic activity assessment of cardiac angiosarcoma by 18FDG PET-CT.
Angiosarcoma is a neoplasm of an endothelial origin, which could arise from blood or lymphatic vessels, respectively hemangiosarcoma or lymphosarcoma. They account for only 0.1% of adult malignancies and represent 1–2% of all soft tissue sarcomas in humans [1]. Most tumours are malignant and readily give distant metastases because they are composed of rapidly proliferating and extensively infil...

15 صفحه اولComparison of 18FDG PET with thallium SPECT in the assessment of myocardial viability. A segmental model analysis.
BACKGROUND In patients with myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction, the evidence of myocardial viability is primordial. There are some methods to detect the presence of myocardial viability, 201 thallium reinjection SPECT protocol represents the most common radioisotopic technique to evaluate it. Positron emission tomography (PET) using FDG is considered the gold standard. The a...
