Evaluation of factors influencing 18F-FET uptake in the brain
PET using the amino-acid O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) is gaining increasing interest for brain tumour management. Semi-quantitative analysis of tracer uptake in brain tumours is based on the standardized uptake value (SUV) and the tumour-to-brain ratio (TBR). The aim of this study was to explore physiological factors that might influence the relationship of SUV of 18F-FET uptake i...
متن کاملPhysiological distribution and range of normal SUVmax values of 18F-Choline PET/CT
Introduction: 18F-Choline PET-CT is an increasingly used technique in patients with prostate cancer. The main indication is to localise the disease in patients with biochemical recurrence. To accurately interpret 18F-Choline PET, knowledge of normal tracer distribution is paramount. The aim of this study was to describe the normal distribution pattern of 18F-Cho...
متن کاملDetermination of reference physiological values for working donkeys of Ethiopia
This study was undertaken with the aim of determining reference physiological values for working Ethiopian donkeys in four districts of Oromiya regional state by taking vital signs (body temperature, pulse and respiration rate) and gut sounds from a total of 130 apparently healthy donkeys. The mean values of body temperature obtained in this study for young, adult, and old donkeys were 37.90±0....
متن کامل[18F] FDOPA standardized uptake values of brain tumors are not exclusively dependent on LAT1 expression
[18F]-FDOPA is a labeled amino acid (AA) analog used for positron emission tomography (PET) which is gaining increasing interest in the evaluation of brain tumors (BT). The AA-transporter LAT1 has been shown to be involved in [18F]-FDOPA uptake. The aim of this study was to determine whether the [18F]-FDOPA uptake was correlated with level of LAT1 expression in BT. Twenty-eight BT (including 19...
متن کاملHigh 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in cardiac tumor
BACKGROUND Cardiac tumors, especially malignant, are rare but aggressive tumors that mostly arise from the mesenchymal cells and represent a challenging diagnosis for clinicians. Recently, fluorine-18-fluorodiography positron emission tomography and computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) is an increasingly popular new technique with diagnosis of tumor. METHODS We report a case of a right heart tu...
