چکیده
T. Kato J. Shinoda N. Nakayama K. Miwa A. Okumura H. Yano S. Yoshimura T. Maruyama Y. Muragaki T. Iwama BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Positron-emission tomography (PET) is a useful tool in oncology. The aim of this study was to assess the metabolic activity of gliomas using C-methionine (MET), [F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and C-choline (CHO) PET and to explore the correlation between the metabolic activity and histopathologic features.

A case of colon cancer detected by carbon-11 choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography: an initial report.
[C-11] choline positron emission tomography ([C-11] choline PET) has been expected to be one of the new PET modalities similar to [F-18] fuluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), which has spread worldwide as a gold standard of PET oncologic imaging. However, there has been no report on [C-11] choline PET used for detection of colorectal cancer, which is one of major targets o...

INTRODUCTION Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scanning has an established role in the diagnostic work-up of many malignant diseases and also in the evaluation of cancer treatment response. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography may, however be non-specific as infectious processes are depicted as well. CASE PRESENTATION We present a patient with longstanding leg pain an...

Choline is a new positron emission tomography (PET) tracer useful for detection of prostate cancer and metastatic lesions. We report a 70-year-old man with prostate cancer and multiple abdominal, pelvic, and inguinal node metastases. PET scans demonstrated accumulation of 11C-choline in the primary tumor and lymph node metastases but no accumulation of 18F-FDG. Choline PET/computed tomography m...

Objective(s): This study aimed to compare the diagnostic values of 11C-choline and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 10 patients (6 males and 4 females), aged 42-69 years, suspected of having CCA based on CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) resu...

متن کاملRadiation-induced medulloblastoma in an adult: a functional imaging study.
We describe functional imaging findings using MRI, 1H-Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positron emission tomography in a case of radiation-induced medulloblastoma following radiotherapy for pineal gland tumor. MRS showed a prominent choline peak; FDG, 11C-Met and 11C-Choline PET showed a minimal glucose, increased methionine and choline uptake.
