PET/CT in the evaluation of pulmonary solitary nodule
Radiol Bras. 2016 Mar/Abr;49(2):XI In recent decades, we have been faced with an increasing number of thoracic computed tomography (CT) examinations worldwide, an increase that can be partially attributed to the growing number of lung cancer screening programs. In addition, the development of scanners with higher spatial resolution has increased the number of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) d...
متن کاملThyroid Nodule Imaging. Status and Limitations.
Thyroid nodules are common, occurring in almost two-thirds of some populations; among these only about 7% are malignant. The most important question with any new discovered thyroid nodule is, “is this malignant?” The main arbiter of malignancy or benignity remains fine needle aspiration and the mainstay of treatment surgery. But given the resources involved, doing an FNAC or surgery in every di...
متن کاملRelation between nodule size and 18F-FDG-PET SUV for malignant and benign pulmonary nodules.
UNLABELLED The most common semiquantitative method of evaluation of pulmonary lesions using 18F-FDG PET is FDG standardized uptake value (SUV). An SUV cutoff of 2.5 or greater has been used to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules. The goal of our study was to investigate the correlation between the size of pulmonary nodules and the SUV for benign as well as for malignant nodules. ...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted MRI and FDG-PET in Diagnosis of Endometrial Stromal Nodule
Preoperative differentiation of benign endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) from malignant low-grade endometrial sarcoma (LGESS) is challenging, because it requires histological evaluation of the tumor-myometrium interface, which is difficult to obtain in conventional endometrial curettage. A 72-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with 5-year history of persistent vaginal bleeding. Histological...
متن کاملEndometrial Stromal Nodule
The endometrial stromal nodule is a benign tumor composed of differentiated endometrial stromal cells arranged as a well circumscribed nodule with smooth non-invasive margins. They are rare neoplasms, diagnosed in most instances by microscopy. Although nodules are benign in nature, hysterectomy is the treatment of choice to enable evaluation of the tumor margins which are well demarcated in...
