Correlation between SUV max value obtained by FDG-PET/CT and pathological findings in cholangiocarcinoma

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...

Pineal yolk sac tumor: correlation between neuroimaging and pathological findings.

A 17-year-old boy presented with somnolence and mental confusion. Physical examination demonstrated motor disturbances. Laboratory investigation showed elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. The CT scan revealed a heterogeneous mass at the pineal region. At the MRI, this lesion was hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2-weighted images, enhancing after contrast...

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

Relationship between BI-RADS 4 Ultrasound Index and Pathological Findings and Clinical Outcomes in Breast Lesions

Introduction: breast cancer is listed as the most common type of cancer in women and many patients suffer from this disease worldwide. However, the timely diagnosis of the condition can lower the rate of mortality and morbidity. Breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) is a noninvasive scoring system. The aim of our study was to assess the BI-RADS for patients and evaluate the corresp...

Limited Prognostic Value of SUV max Measured by F-18 FDG PET/CT in Newly Diagnosed Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the maximum standard uptake value (SUV max) measured by 18-F fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in newly diagnosed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of newly diagnosed SCLC patients who were given a histological d...
