(18)F-FDG PET hemispheric cerebral hypometabolic activity: patient motion artifact.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 51-y-old man underwent (18)F-FDG PET for disease restaging of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Initial attenuation correction images demonstrated unilateral hemispheric cerebral hypometabolic activity. The remainder of the scan was otherwise unremarkable. Non-attenuation correction images demonstrated a patient motion artifact attributable to lateral movement of the patient's head during image acquisition. Subsequent repeat (18)F-FDG PET showed normal cerebral cortical activity.

BACKGROUND Fabry disease is a rare metabolic glycosphingolipid storage disease caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A--leading to cellular accumulation of globotriasylceramide in different organs, vessels, tissues, and nerves. The disease is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease at a young age in addition to heart and kidney failure. OBJECTIVE Th...
متن کامل18F-FDG PET/CT in pachygyria during evaluation for seizure disorder
Pachygyria or incomplete lissencephaly is a developmental condition due to abnormal migration of neurons. The association of seizures in this condition warrants investigation like electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 18F-flurodeoxyglucose positron emission topography computed topography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has a potential role in commenting of wide...

AIMS To identify the pattern of cerebral hypometabolism in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and visual hallucinations (VH). METHODS Fourteen patients with DLB and VH, 7 with DLB without VH and 16 healthy controls underwent clinical and (18)F-FDG PET evaluations. The 2 patient groups did not significantly differ in their clinical characteristics, except in the occurrence of VH. A ...
