Dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with colorectal cancer: clinical value of early delayed scanning

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...

Evaluation of dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET for staging in patients with lung cancer.

UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG PET is increasingly used for lung cancer; however, some insufficient results have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of dual-time-point (18)F-FDG PET for staging lung cancer and for differentiating metastatic from nonmetastatic lung cancer lesions. METHODS One hundred fifty-five lung cancer patients with known or suspected mediastinal an...

Added Value of Dual-Time-Point 18F-FDG PET/CT With Delayed Imaging for Detecting Aortic Graft Infection

F-FDG PET/CT is a promising tool in detecting aortic graft infection. Present study investigated the value of dual-time-point F-FDG PET/CT imaging (DTPI) with delayed imaging in assessing aortic graft infection.Twenty-nine patients with suspected aortic graft infection were prospectively enrolled in this DTPI study. Two nuclear medicine physicians read all the images and achieved consensus abou...

Clinical significance of dual-time-point 18F-FDG PET imaging in resectable non-small cell lung cancer

OBJECTIVE The maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of pulmonary lesions on dual-time-point (DTP) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been shown to be useful for differentiation between malignant and non-malignant pulmonary lesions, and also to be of value for intrathoracic nodal staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a few NSCLC lesions have been...
