Staging and functional characterization of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare tumors of the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal sympathetic chromaffin tissues; their anatomical and functional imaging are critical to guiding treatment decisions. This study aimed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) for tu...
متن کاملRadiobiological Modeling Based on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Data for Esophageal Cancer
BACKGROUND We investigated the relationship of standardized uptake values (SUVs) to radiobiological parameters, such a 25 s tumor control probability (TCP), to allow for quantitative prediction of tumor response based on SUVs from 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) before and after treatment for esophageal cancer. METHODS We analyzed data from 20 esophageal ca...
متن کاملImaging atherosclerotic plaque inflammation with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is usually a consequence of inflammatory cell activity within the plaque. Current imaging techniques provide anatomic data but no indication of plaque inflammation. The glucose analogue [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) can be used to image inflammatory cell activity non-invasively by PET. In this study we tested whether 18FDG-PET imaging can identify in...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography in the initial staging of esophageal cancer.
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 =...
متن کاملThe role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in the primary staging of rectal cancer
BACKGROUND In this study we aimed to determine the need for 18F-flourodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the preoperative staging of rectal carcinoma in our large patient group according to level and location of tumor. METHOD Totally, 97 patients diagnosed with primary rectal adenocarcinoma between May 2009 and July 2011 were included in the study....
