Staging recurrent ovarian cancer with 18FDG PET/CT
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of 2-deoxy-2-((18)F)-fluoro-D-glucose ((18)FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in patients with suspected ovarian cancer recurrence and describe the distribution of metastasis. A total of 45 female patients who underwent PET/CT scan due to raised CA-125 levels, clinical suspicion of ovarian cancer recurrence or al...

متن کاملMyocardial viability assessment in 18FDG PET/CT study (18FDG PET myocardial viability assessment).
Accurate identification of viable myocardium is crucial in patient qualification for medical or surgical treatment. Only persons with confirmed cardiac viability will benefit from revascularization procedures. It is also well known, that the amount of viable myocardium assessed preoperatively is the best indicator of long term cardiac event free survival after cardiac intervention.There are sev...
متن کامل[PET and Cancer Screening].
Various carcinomas are discovered incidentally during FDG PET study. This points to the potential use of PET as a cancer screening modality. Our experience using three PET scanners showed that PET can be performed in many individuals, and a wide variety of carcinomas can be detected at potentially curable stages. PET screening targets various organs that conventional organ-specific screening te...
متن کامل18FDG PET-CT for detecting gastric cancer recurrence after surgical resection: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the value of (18)FDG PET-CT for the detection of gastric cancer recurrence after surgical resection. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed in the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio for (18)FDG PET-CT. We also constructed summary rec...
