Metabolic activity assessment of cardiac angiosarcoma by 18FDG PET-CT.
Angiosarcoma is a neoplasm of an endothelial origin, which could arise from blood or lymphatic vessels, respectively hemangiosarcoma or lymphosarcoma. They account for only 0.1% of adult malignancies and represent 1–2% of all soft tissue sarcomas in humans [1]. Most tumours are malignant and readily give distant metastases because they are composed of rapidly proliferating and extensively infil...
متن کاملMyocardial viability assessment in 18FDG PET/CT study (18FDG PET myocardial viability assessment).
Accurate identification of viable myocardium is crucial in patient qualification for medical or surgical treatment. Only persons with confirmed cardiac viability will benefit from revascularization procedures. It is also well known, that the amount of viable myocardium assessed preoperatively is the best indicator of long term cardiac event free survival after cardiac intervention.There are sev...
متن کاملEvaluation of hepatic metabolic activity in non-alcoholic fatty livers on 18FDG PET/CT.
OBJECTIVE The liver has been used as a reference organ for the assessment of abnormal (18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ((18)FDG) in the body. Some researchers found that hepatosteatosis significantly changed the hepatic (18)FDG uptake, while others did not. This study investigated whether the liver's (18)FDG uptake was affected by the diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver. MATERIAL AND METHOD...
متن کاملFindings of the F-FDG PET-CT in a cardiac angiosarcoma complicated by a cardiac rupture
Primary malignant tumors of the heart are a rare condition. The most common type is the cardiac angiosarcoma. The symptoms of this disease are very nonspecific and can be very difficult to diagnose by conventional imaging techniques. We report the case of a male patient with cardiac angiosarcoma who also had a rare complication, this being cardiac rupture, which required the use of F-FDG PET-CT...
متن کاملCardiac Angiosarcoma on CT
Among cardiac masses, primary malignant neoplasms are very rare. Here we describe a case of primary cardiac angiosarcoma on computed tomography (CT).
