چکیده

We serially examined a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease using fludeoxyglucose F 18 and positron emission tomography. Marked cerebral hypometabolism reflected clinical deterioration in the early stages of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease when no parenchymal abnormalities were present on MR imaging.

Prostate cancer-specific PET radiotracers: A review on the clinical utility in recurrent disease.

Prostate cancer-specific positron emission tomography (pcPET) has been shown to detect sites of disease recurrence at serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels that are lower than those levels detected by conventional imaging. Commonly used pcPET radiotracers in the setting of biochemical recurrence are reviewed including carbon 11/fludeoxyglucose 18 (F-18) choline, gallium 68/F-18 prostate-...
