Detecting “Silent Graft Infection” - PET Scanning may be your Friend
Synthetic arteriovenous grafts are a source of infection in 11-35% of the hemodialysis patients. Even when not in use – after these patients receive a transplant – they can serve as a potential source of chronic bacterial infection. Previous reports describe infections in clotted grafts. We present a case of a ‘silent infection’ in an unused but functioning arteriovenous graft.
متن کاملPET/CT scanning with a high HIV/AIDS prevalence.
Positron emission tomography (PET) with [F-18]-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) has a well established and growing role in the management of most lymphomas. The interpretation of FDG PET scans in HIV positive patients is however challenging. This is largely due to scan changes giving a higher likelihood of false positive studies from both the direct effects of HIV and its treatment, and related to se...
متن کاملAn old enemy not to be forgotten during PET CT scanning of cancer patients: tuberculosis
AIM OF THE STUDY Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET CT) scan is commonly used in current medical oncology practice as an imaging method. In this study we present data from cancer patients who were followed at our clinic and suspected of having tuberculosis during PET CT scanning. After the biopsy, they were diagnosed with concomitant tuberculosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS In th...
متن کاملCan Evolutionary-based Brain Map Be Used as a Complementary Diagnostic Tool with fMRI, CT and PET for Schizophrenic Patients?
Objective: In this research, a new approach termed as “evolutionary-based brain map†is presented as a diagnostic tool to classify schizophrenic and control subjects by distinguishing their electroencephalogram (EEG) features.Methods: Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to find discriminative frequency bands from different EEG channels. By deploying the energy of those selected fr...
متن کاملRole of dual PET/CT scanning in abdominal malignancies
Modern cross-sectional structural imaging techniques like ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide high resolution images that aid in accurate detection, delineation and anatomic localization of abdominal malignancies. However, characterization of lesions into benign and malignant abdominal etiologies is often not possible from structural imaging te...
