Positron emission tomography/computed tomography images of pulmonary and spinal tuberculosis.
A 38-year old man presented to the outpatient clinic with nonproductive cough and back pain. Positron emission tomography/ computed tomography images (Fig. 1) showed a pulmonary lesion in the right inferior lobe with 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) uptake and destructive bone lesions with intense FDG activity in T5 to T9 vertebrae. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed by broncho...
متن کاملPulmonary studies using positron emission tomography.
The detailed investigation of regional differences in lung function at a local level began when suitable gamma-ray emitting isotopes and focused external radiation detectors (especially the Anger gamma-camera) became available. A major recent advance has been the development of positron emission tomography (PET), which provides a powerful combination of highly accurate tomographic reconstructio...
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 کاملImaging 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...
متن کاملA review on segmentation of positron emission tomography images
Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a non-invasive functional imaging method at the molecular level, images the distribution of biologically targeted radiotracers with high sensitivity. PET imaging provides detailed quantitative information about many diseases and is often used to evaluate inflammation, infection, and cancer by detecting emitted photons from a radiotracer localized to abnormal ...
