Cardiac imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/MRI in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
A 57-year-old female was referred to our hospital for severe left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Although she had no symptoms and no history of hypertension, echocardiography demonstrated severe LVH in the mid LV to the apex with no asymmetric septal hypertrophy. Thus, we suspected apical type of HCM and performed FDG-PET/MRI. After fasting for more than 18 hours, the patient was administered u...
متن کامل18FDG PET/CT in pulmonary carcinosarcoma and brain metastasis
Carcinosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that is composed of a mixture of sarcomatous and carcinomatous elements. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma has a 25% five-year survival rate with a prognosis poorer than other non-small cell lung carcinomas. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma and its 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. A 61-year-old male patient presented with brain symptoms, including hea...
متن کاملThe value of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/CT in oesophageal cancer
[18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) is recognized as a useful adjunct to conventional imaging with CT and endoscopic ultrasonography for the staging of oesophageal cancer, for response assessment and identification of recurrent disease and it may provide prognostic information.
متن کاملDual-Time Point Whole-Body 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT Imaging in Undiagnosed Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy
Sarcoidosis and TB, the two most common benign causes of mediastinal lymphadenopathy, share remarkable clinical, radiologic, and histologic similarities. 1 Diff erentiation between the two remains a diffi cult task for pulmonary physicians, particularly in countries with a high burden of TB. 2 We performed a dual-time point 18 F-fl uorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scan in 117 consecutive patients ...
متن کاملInflammatory Pseudotumor in the Mediastinum: Imaging with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT
Mediastinal inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign disease with its capability for local invasion and rapid growth. We present a case of middle-mediastinal inflammatory pseudotumor and report its contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and pathologic findings.
