Diagnosis of prostatitis by 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography
A 74-year-old man, who underwent renal transplantation in April 2007 for end-stage renal failure caused by chronic glomerulonephritis, was admitted in August 2008 for fever (38.5◦C) without orientation symptoms. He had history of essential hypertension, diabetes and ischaemic cardiopathy. The patient had presented two episodes of isolated fever in June 2007, with negative bacteriology, which re...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کاملF-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumors
Positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG-PET) has been proven useful for differentiating pancreatic ductal cancer from mass-forming chronic pancreatitis. However, there are particular pancreatic tumors having various grades of malignancy such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. We examined whether the cut-off valu...
متن کاملF-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography for differential diagnosis and prognosis prediction of vascular tumors
The spectrum of vascular tumors ranges from hemangioma (HEM), to epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and to angiosarcoma (AS). To the best of our knowledge, the usefulness of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for vascular tumors has never been comprehensively studied. The present study investigated the usefulness of FDG-PET for pathologically diagnosed vascular t...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose in evaluating colorectal hepatic metastasis down-staged by chemotherapy.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of positron emission tomography with 18F fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG-PET) is obscure in evaluating viability or the extent of colorectal hepatic metastasis (CHM), down-staged by chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective lesion-by-lesion analysis was performed for seven consecutive patients, who had received rescue hepatectomy for initially unresectable CHM, ...
