چکیده
Figure 2: Analysis output of localized H-MRS spectra from the right node of patient 9. The in vivo spectrum (thin grey curve) has been estimated with the LCModel output (thick red curve), and the difference of these spectra (residue) is plotted at the top. Cho, choline. Figure 3: Scatterplot displaying Cho/W concentrations (arbitrary units) as function of FDG uptake (g/mL). The linear regression line is indicated in black. Pearson correlation’s coefficient is 0.584, p = 0.022.

Potential Clinical Roles for Metabolic Imaging with Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate
Clinical oncology relies increasingly on biomedical imaging, with anatomical imaging, especially using CT and 1H-MRI, forming the mainstay of patient assessment, from diagnosis to treatment monitoring. However, the need for further improvements in specificity and sensitivity, coupled with imaging techniques that are reaching their limit of clinically attainable spatial resolution, has resulted ...
متن کامل18FDG PET-CT for distant metastases in patients with recurrent head and neck cancer after definitive treatment. A meta-analysis.
To evaluate the role of 18FDG PET-CT for screening distant metastases before salvage treatment in patients with suspected recurrent head and neck cancer. Studies about 18FDG PET-CT were systematically searched in the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases (last update October 05, 2013). We calculated sensitivities, specificities, positive likelihood ratios and negative likelihood ratios, and constructed ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the patient effective dose (ED) for different PET/CT procedures performed with a variety of PET radiopharmaceutical compounds. PET/CT studies of 210 patients were reviewed including Torso (n = 123), Whole body (WB) (n = 36), Head and Neck Tumor (HNT) (n = 10), and Brain (n = 41) protocols with 18FDG (n = 170), 11C-CHOL (n = 10), 1...
متن کاملRole of FDG-PET/CT in follow-up of patients treated with resective gastric surgery for tumour.
INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and a high rate of recurrences after surgery. The optimal method for assessing early recurrences is not defined: conventional imaging (ultrasonography, CT and MRI) have difficulty in detecting them, because they don't give information regarding metabolic features or tumor response to chemotherapy. Actually 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission...
متن کاملIntegrated 18FDG PET/CT: Utility and Applications in Clinical Oncology
Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for an optimal management of cancer patients. Positron emision tomography with 2-deoxy-2-fluorine-18-fluoro-D-glucose ((18)FDG-PET) and, more recently, (18)FDG-PET/computed tomography ((18)FDG-PET/CT) have emerged as powerful imaging tools in oncology, because of the valuable functional information they provide. The combined acquisition of PET and CT...
