Giant cell arteritis exclusively detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography: a case report
INTRODUCTION This case of giant cell arteritis is noteworthy because it evaded standard diagnostic criteria and only emerged as fever of unknown origin. In this regard, we present 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a valid diagnostic method. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 58-year-old Caucasian woman who is a cigarette smoker with a 10-week history of fever ...
متن کاملIncreased metabolic activity in abdominal aortic aneurysm detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
OBJECTIVES Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are associated with an inflammatory cell infiltrate and enzymatic degradation of the vessel wall. The aim of this study was to detect increased metabolic activity in the wall of the AAA with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG), mediated by glucose transporter protein (GLUTs), using a dedicated hybrid PET/64-detector CT. DESIGN, METHOD AND MATERIALS: 1...
متن کامل[18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-CT imaging of carotidynia.
Carotidynia is an idiopathic syndrome characterized by pain over the carotid bifurcation without associated luminal pathologic process. The classification of carotidynia as a distinct disease rather than as a symptom has generated controversy in the literature. Recent reports, however, suggest that carotidynia is a distinct disease characterized by the presence of enhancing soft tissue in the c...
متن کاملImaging atherosclerotic plaque inflammation with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is usually a consequence of inflammatory cell activity within the plaque. Current imaging techniques provide anatomic data but no indication of plaque inflammation. The glucose analogue [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) can be used to image inflammatory cell activity non-invasively by PET. In this study we tested whether 18FDG-PET imaging can identify in...
متن کاملDiabetes and Vascular 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Uptake
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in North America and Europe. During the natural course of atherosclerosis, inflammation plays a major role in the development of complex plaque lesions containing activated macrophages, foam cells, T lymphocytes, mast cells, and a necrotic lipid-rich core (1). When such a plaque becomes unstable due to uncontrolled inflammation and thinning of ...
