18F-FDG PET/CT findings in a possible MELAS syndrome: A case study
Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of mitochondrial DNA, presenting a wide range of clinical symptoms comprising headaches, seizures, aphasia, hearing loss, visual defects, and hemiparesis. Herein we report a case of a previously asymptomatic 40-year-old male who presented with recurrent headache, seiz...
متن کاملUnderestimated role of 18F-FDG PET for HCC evaluation and promise of 18F-FDG PET/MR imaging in this setting.
TO THE EDITOR: We read with great interest the recent article by Cheung et al. on the utility of 11C-acetate/18F-FDG PET/CT for clinical staging and appropriate selection of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for liver transplantation based on the Milan criteria (1). The authors of this study were able to show the strength of PET/CT over dynamic contrast-enhanced CT to detect HCCs (pa...
متن کاملGeneralized lymph node activation after Influenza vaccination on 18F FDG-PET/CT imaging, an important pitfall in PET interpretation
We report on a 59-year-old female patient with an infected vascular graft investigated with 18F FDG-PET/CT. The first of two studies showed FDG activity in the left deltoid and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes explained by influenza vaccination the day prior. The second 18F FDG-PET/CT showed multiple FDG-avid lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm without tracer accumulation at the vaccinat...
متن کاملInflammatory Pseudotumor in the Epidural Space of the Lumbosacral Spine on F-18 FDG PET/CT
An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare benign lesion, characterized by nonneoplastic proliferation of inflammatory cells and presence of intermingling collagen fibers. IPT commonly occurs in the lungs and orbita, while an intraspinal IPT is extremely rare. IPT can mimic both clinically and radiologically malignant processes, and making a definitive preoperative diagnosis is often difficult...
متن کاملMR constrained simultaneous reconstruction of activity and attenuation maps in brain TOF-PET/MR imaging
Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Geneva University Hospital, CH-1211 Geneva, Switzerland The maximum likelihood estimation of attenuation and activity (MLAA) algorithm has been proposed to jointly estimate activity and attenuation from emission data only. Salomon et al employed the MLAA to estimate activity and attenuation from time-offlight PET data with spatial MR prior inf...
