18F-FDG PET/CT in evaluating non-CNS pediatric malignancies.
UNLABELLED We reviewed our experience of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in noncentral nervous system (CNS) pediatric malignancies and evaluated if PET/CT provided additional information to conventional imaging (CI) examinations to determine the efficacy of this new imaging modality in the clinical setting. METHODS One-hundred fifty-one consecutive FDG PET/CT examinations in 55 pediatric patients with non-C...
متن کاملEvaluation of pediatric CNS malignancies with (99m)Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile SPECT.
UNLABELLED SPECT has the potential to add valuable information to the diagnosis and management of central nervous system (CNS) malignancy. Radioactive tracers including (99m)Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI), or sestamibi, have been shown to be sensitive markers for brain tumors; however, their role in imaging children is poorly defined. METHODS We undertook a pilot study of 29 pairs of (99...

متن کاملPediatric Hematologic Malignancies: Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Burkitt lymphoma (BL), a tumor occurring in endemic, sporadic and AIDS-associated forms, is the classic example of a human malignancy whose pathogenesis involves a specific cellular genetic change, namely, a chromosomal translocation deregulating expression of the c-myc oncogene, complemented in many cases by the action of an oncogenic virus, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Here we review recent ...
متن کاملCitrate in pediatric CNS tumors?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In a subset of in vivo MR spectra acquired from pediatric brain tumors, we have observed an unassigned peak. The goal of this study was to determine the molecule of origin, and the prevalence and concentration of this chemical in various pediatric brain tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Single-voxel point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) spectra from 85 patients with brain tum...
