Fluor-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography in differentiated thyroid cancer.
Owing to the development of high resolution scanners and the new possibility of whole body scanning in recent years positron emission tomography has become more and more important in diagnostic imaging, especially for the diagnosis of malignant tumors and their metastases. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a special nuclear medical imaging technique, which is quantitative (correcting for ra...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملPerformance of 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography for esophageal cancer screening
AIM To evaluate the performance of 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for esophageal cancer (EC) screening. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of consecutive asymptomatic individuals who underwent FDG-PET and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) simultaneously for cancer screening at our institution from February 2004 to March 2013. In total, 14790 FDG-PET a...
متن کامل[Diffuse tracheobronchial tree infiltration diagnosed by 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography].
Tracheobronchial tree is reported to harbor benign processes like inflammatory origin, foreign bodies, pulmonary aspirations, mucous plugs and benign tumors (most of them of mesenchymal origin), as well as malign processes: primary (of epithelial origin), and secondary (by direct infiltration or hematogenous spread).1,2 We report a patient with history of squamous carcinoma in the right lung (s...
متن کاملThe role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in differentiated thyroid cancer before surgery.
The incidence of thyroid cancer in both men and women is increasing faster than that of any other cancer. Although positron emission tomography (PET) using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has received much attention, the use of FDG PET for the management of thyroid cancer is limited primarily to postoperative follow-up. However, it might have a role in selected, more aggressive pathologies, and ...
