Molecular imaging of prostate cancer with PET.
Molecular imaging is paving the way for precision and personalized medicine. In view of the significant biologic and clinical heterogeneity of prostate cancer, molecular imaging is expected to play an important role in the evaluation of this prevalent disease. The natural history of prostate cancer spans from an indolent localized process to biochemical relapse after radical treatment with cura...
متن کاملCardiac imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/MRI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
A 57-year-old female was referred to our hospital for severe left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Although she had no symptoms and no history of hypertension, echocardiography demonstrated severe LVH in the mid LV to the apex with no asymmetric septal hypertrophy. Thus, we suspected apical type of HCM and performed FDG-PET/MRI. After fasting for more than 18 hours, the patient was administered u...
متن کاملThe value of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT in oesophageal cancer
[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) is recognized as a useful adjunct to conventional imaging with CT and endoscopic ultrasonography for the staging of oesophageal cancer, for response assessment and identification of recurrent disease and it may provide prognostic information.
متن کاملProstate cancer: PET with 18F-FDG, 18F- or 11C-acetate, and 18F- or 11C-choline.
Prostate cancer is biologically and clinically a heterogeneous disease that makes imaging evaluation challenging. The role of imaging in prostate cancer should include diagnosis, localization, and characterization (indolent vs. lethal) of the primary tumor, determination of extracapsular spread, guidance and evaluation of local therapy in organ-confined disease, staging of locoregional lymph no...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in liver cancer.
To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the insufficient sensitivity in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by [18F] 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), the characteristics of glucose metabolism-related protein expression in HCC were examined in liver metastasis from colorectal cancer (Meta). Thirty-four patients (14 Meta and 20 HCC) who underw...
