Parathyroid hyperplasia detected by F-18-Choline PET/CT, negative on Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT/CT and F-18-Deoxyglucose PET/CT scans

F 18 FDG PETCT detection for liver metastases

Reduced-dose [F]-FDG PETCT scanning with current generation PETCT systems

Localization of ectopic parathyroid adenoma with Tc-99m-MIBI [Persian]

  Ectopic paratliyroid adenoma might create a clinical dilemma in patients with hypercalcemia. Radioisotopic scan is a sensitive and noninvasive method which can be useful in these patients. In this report a case of ectopic parathyroid adenoma is presented and the usefulness of TC-99m-MIBI scintigraphy as compared with other modalities is discussed.

Synchronous triple thymoma and true thymic hyperplasia simultaneously detected by (18)F FDG PET-CT.

A 56-years-old Caucasian woman was admitted to our Departent for evaluation of mediastinal enlargement detected during nvestigations for angor and long-lasting dyspnoea. A non-contrast nhanced chest CT scan evidenced multiple swellings in the nterior mediastinum making a proper radiological evaluation of he mediastinum unfeasible. Thus, a 18F-FDG PET-CT-scan was erformed and revealed a round-sh...

Comparison of Tc-99m sestamibi and F-18 FDG-PET in the assessment of multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUND Tc-99m methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (MIBI) has been reported to be a useful tracer in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Few articles have reported the potential value of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in the evaluation of MM. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic abilities of the MIBI scan and the FDG-PET scan in t...
