Simultaneous 11C-Methionine Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Suspected Primary Brain Tumors
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of integrated 11C- methionine PET/MRI for suspected primary brain tumors, in comparison to MRI alone. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight consecutive patients with suspected primary brain tumor were prospectively enrolled for an integrated 11C-methionine PET/MRI. Two neuro-radiologists separately evaluated the MRI alone ...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics of Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesions
Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are often misdiagnosed as brain tumors. To identify imaging characteristics of TDLs for their proper diagnosis, their differences from malignant gliomas, etc., were investigated based on 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR spectroscopy data that was obtained from 5 patients diagnosed with TDLs in our hospital. MRI displayed a paraventricular ...
متن کاملImaging Atherosclerosis with Hybrid Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Noninvasive imaging of atherosclerosis could potentially move patient management towards individualized triage, treatment, and followup. The newly introduced combined positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system could emerge as a key player in this context. Both PET and MRI have previously been used for imaging plaque morphology and function: however, the combi...
متن کاملBrain structure localization in positron emission tomography: comparison of magnetic resonance imaging and a stereotactic method.
A method commonly used for localization of brain regions on positron emission tomographic (PET) images is direct visualization and designation of structure on the image itself. This technique, however, is limited to portions of the brain having sufficient differential radionuclide uptake to permit the recognition of structure by observers familiar with brain anatomy. Two other methods commonly ...
متن کاملFluorine-19 Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography of Tumor-Associated Macrophages and Tumor Metabolism
The presence of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is significantly associated with poor prognosis of tumors. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging- (MRI-) based TAM imaging methods that use nanoparticles such as superparamagnetic iron oxide and perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions are available for quantitative monitoring of TAM burden in tumors. However, whether MRI-based measurements of TAMs can b...
