The diagnostic value of 18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT in detecting primary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma lesion and metastatic lymph node compared to 18F-FDG-PET/CT

FDG PETCT in colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer represents the second most common malignancy worldwide, with approximately one million newly diagnosed cases each year, and is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality. This article provides an overview of the role of FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET (positron emission tomography) CT (computed tomography) for assessment in patients with colorectal cancer. A summary of key lear...

Reduced-dose [F]-FDG PETCT scanning with current generation PETCT systems

A rare case of primary malignant melanoma of cervix with metastasis to inguinal lymph node detected on 18F-FDG PET-CT scan

Primary malignant melanoma of uterine cervix is extremely rare malignancy with very few case published reports. This neoplasm is having poor prognosis, so early diagnosis, staging and treatment is of extreme importance. 18F-FDG PET-CT (18F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography) scan is an established modality to determine exact extent of disea...

18F-FDG-PET/MR increases diagnostic confidence in detection of bone metastases compared with 18F-FDG-PET/CT.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare detection, lesion conspicuity and reader confidence of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG)-PET/MR and F-FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT) in patients with F-FDG avid bone metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, a total of 30 PET/CT and PET/MRI data sets were performed in 24 patients. Each examination was evaluated for the presence of P...

Axillary Lymph Node-to-Primary Tumor Standard Uptake Value Ratio on Preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT: A Prognostic Factor for Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer

PURPOSE This study assessed the axillary lymph node (ALN)-to-primary tumor maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) ratio (ALN/T SUV ratio) in invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) on preoperative (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) to determine the effectiveness in predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS). METHODS One hundred nineteen IDC patie...
