False-positive 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scans mimicking malignancies.
AIM 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is an imaging modality that is often used to help differentiate benign from malignant pulmonary lesions and it has been shown to be more efficacious than conventional chest computed tomography (CT). However, some benign lesions may also show increased metabolic activity which can lead to false-positive PET...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کامل18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and the staging of early lung cancer.
Background: Determining the stage of non-small-cell lung cancer often requires multiple preoperative tests and invasive procedures. Whole body positron-emission tomography (PET) may simplify and improve the evaluation of patients with this tumor. Methods: We prospectively compared the ability of a standard approach to staging (computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, bone scanning, and, when ...
متن کاملThe diagnostic difference between 18F- FDG PET and 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT perfusion imaging in assessment of Alzheimer's disease
Introduction:Brain imaging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography or Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) SPECT is widely used for the evaluation of Alzheimer's dementia (AD); we aim to assess superiority of one method over the other. Methods: Twenty four patients with clinical diagnosi...
متن کاملF-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Scan: A Case Report
Background: Hibernoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor arising from brown fat that cannot be distinguished from other lipogenic tumors on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. On the other hand, the image of hibernoma on 18 Ffluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET) is different from that of other lipogenic tumors. However, fewer studies have ...
