Scar 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 کاملFDG PET/CT Features of Hemostatic Absorbable Gelatin (Gelfoam)
We present the PET/CT findings of hemostatic absorbable gelatin (Gelfoam) in a 41-year-old woman who had hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. CT showed a very low attenuation lesion (-232 HU) in the surgical bed, but PET showed no significant activity.
متن کاملCorticosteroids and immune checkpoint blockade
checkpoint blockade to stimulate the immune response have demonstrated promising outcomes in advanced malignancies [1]. As a result, novel cancer immunotherapy was named a scientific breakthrough of the year in 2013 by Science. Consistent with its mechanism of action of de novo stimulation or enhancement of pre-existing T cell responses, a number of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) have be...
متن کاملFDG PET/CT in Oncology
The escalating costs of conventional diagnostic technology in oncology have yet to obviate futile surgery intervention and the spiralling treatment cost. The evolution in engineering technology which looks at the correlation of the anatomy and the function of tumours i.e. Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) have impacted on the improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment in...
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...
