Patient Preparation for 18 F FDG PET-CT scan A Short Communication

Detection of chordoma recurrence by F-18 FDG-PET/CT

Background: Despite the relative success of surgical resection followed by proton, proton/photon, or conventional radiotherapy in terms of recurrence-free survival, chordomas are still associated with a high rate of recurrence. To our knowledge there are only very few reported cases of this rare tumor detected by F-18 FDG-PET. Materials and Methods: In this case we show the significanc...

Spinal cord involvement of multiple myeloma detected by F-18 FDG PET/CT Scan.

F-18 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) images of a patient with spinal cord involvement of light chain (Lambda type) multiple myelo-ma (MM) is reported. A 56-year-old man had a 15-months history of light chain MM and have got out of hand after a chemotherapy regimen with only two cycles (melphalan, prednisone) was admitted to hospital ...

Imaging infection and inflammation in children with (18)F-FDG PET and (18)F-FDG PET/CT.

The goal of this article is to delineate indications for (18)F-FDG PET/CT pertaining to inflammation in the pediatric population, with emphasis on those that have been described in the literature. The limitations of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in this type of evaluation are also described, and the importance of using as low a dose as feasible is discussed. After reading this article, the reader should be ...
