Imaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of positron emission tomography (PET) compared with computed tomography (CT) in the initial staging of esophageal cancer. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary care veterans hospital. PATIENTS Patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancers from January 1996 through May 2001 who underwent both CT and PET scanning within 4 weeks were included in the study (n =...

Introduction: To investigate the effects of breathing cycle and tree diaphragm motions on prostate cancer tumors standard uptake value (SUV) during positron emission tomography (PET) and to correct it. Materials and methods: Respiratory motion traces were simulated on the common patient breathing cycle and tree diaphragm motio...
متن کاملPositron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Staging of Colon Cancer
PURPOSE Accurate preoperative staging of colon cancer is essential for providing the optimal treatment strategy and evaluating the expected prognosis. The aim of this study is to assess the value of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) over conventional studies in the staging of colon cancer. METHODS A total of 266 colon cancer patients diagnosed between January 2008 and ...
متن کاملThe Role of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in the Initial Staging of Colon Cancer
patients [4]. Thus, including PET/CT in the routine staging of all patients diagnosed with colon cancer seems to be unreasonable. If a distant metastasis is suspected in a conventional imaging study such as CT, the role of additional PET/CT is that it can exclude some false positive cases and detect other distant metastases. In those cases, according to the PET/CT results, the treatment strateg...
