F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography
Objective—Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines that are linked to obesity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography is a promising imaging technique that can be used to evaluate vascular inflammation. Methods and Results—We measured adiponectin and resistin levels, as well as traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in 60 obese subjects and 6...
متن کاملMicropapillary pattern in lung adenocarcinoma: aspect on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging.
We diagnosed a non-small cell lung carcinoma in a 49-year-old female patient with the histopathological diagnosis of stage IIIB mixed bronchioloalveolar and papillary adenocarcinoma with extensive micropapillary feature, which was not visualized on the preoperative multimodality imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). The micropapillary component characteri...
متن کاملPositron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging in Device Infective Endocarditis: Ready for Prime Time.
O ver the past decade there has been a remarkable increase in prosthetic heart valve replacement and cardiac implant-able electronic device use. Although capable of improving the quality and quantity of life of patients who have severe val-vular heart disease or rhythm disorders, they are both subject to potentially life-threatening infection involving the endocar-dium, referred to as device in...
متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
متن کاملUpdate on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose/positron emission tomography and positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging of squamous head and neck cancers.
This article summarizes the recent literature in (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose/positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging of head and neck cancers and extends the previous review in this area by Schöder and Yeung in the July 2004 issue of Seminars in Nuclear Medicine. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging is now used widely but has not been adequately evaluated for he...
