The Effect of Xanthigen on the Expression of Brown Adipose Tissue Assessed by 18F-FDG PET
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is related with energy expenditure, in contrary to fat-storing white adipose tissue. Recent studies have shown that cold exposure could be related with the expression of BAT in adult subjects assessed by ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). In addition, the application in previous clinical trials showed positive effect of xanthigen containi...
متن کاملFactors influencing the pattern and intensity of myocardial 18F-FDG uptake in oncologic PET-CT imaging
Introduction:Myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is highly variable in oncologic whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT studies, ranging from quite intense to minimal distribution. Intense or heterogeneous myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is undesirable as it may interfere with the visual or quantitative evaluation of tumoral invasion and metastases in pericardium, myocardiu...
متن کاملScar sarcoidosis on 18F-FDG PET/CT
18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is an important imaging modality in the clinical workup of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders which present quite often with a fever of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disorder with a wide clinical spectrum that can involve different organs. The diagno...
متن کاملDual time point based quantification of metabolic uptake rates in 18F-FDG PET
BACKGROUND Assessment of dual time point (DTP) positron emission tomography was carried out with the aim of a quantitative determination of Km, the metabolic uptake rate of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose as a measure of glucose consumption. METHODS Starting from the Patlak equation, it is shown that Km≈mt/ca0+V̄r/τa, where mt is the secant slope of the tissue response function between the dual time p...
متن کاملHepatosplenic Candidiasis Detected by 18F-FDG-PET/CT
Hepatosplenic candidiasis is a fungal infection, which mostly affects patientswith hematologic malignancies such as leukemia. The pathogenesis of thisinfection is not clear yet, and the liver is the most commonly affected organ.Diagnosis of hepatosplenic candidiasis can be only established via biopsy,since computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasonography, and magneticresonance imaging (MRI) yield...
