(18)-F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography study in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome.

چکیده
In accordance with other investigators (2, 3), the authors have reported an increase in (18)-F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lung parenchyma of a small and heterogeneous group of ALI/ARDS patients using positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan in different phases of the disease. Additionally, the authors found heterogeneity in FDG uptake when regional metabolic activity was correlated with lung aeration compartments (hyperinflated, normally aerated, poorly aerated, and non-aerated regions) based on computed tomography density.

Lung positron emission tomography with FDG in patients with haematological malignancies and acute respiratory failure.
Diagnostic strategy in haematology patients with pulmonary infiltrates relies on different approaches [1, 2]. Over the past decade, the use of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been widely used to detect inflammatory and malignant processes, to evaluate the extent of a malignancy, and to ascertain response to therapy. HOT et al. [3] reported diagnostic contributi...
متن کاملPulmonary blood flow increases in damaged regions directly after acid aspiration in rats.
BACKGROUND After gastric aspiration events, patients are at risk of pulmonary dysfunction and the development of severe acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, which may contribute to the development of an inflammatory reaction. The authors' aim in the current study was to investigate the role of the spatial distribution of pulmonary blood flow in the pathogenesis of pulmonar...

Over the past 30 years lung imaging has greatly contributed to the current understanding of the pathophysiology and the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the past few years, in addition to chest X-ray and lung computed tomography, newer functional lung imaging techniques, such as lung ultrasound, positron emission tomography, electrical impedance tomography and magnet...
متن کاملIncidental finding of silent appendicitis on (18)F-FDG PET/CT in a patient with small cell lung adenocarcinoma.
We report the incidental diagnosis of acute asymptomatic appendicitis on a fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) performed for staging of a non small cell lung carcinoma. The patient was asymptomatic and laboratory tests were normal. The case illustrates: a) the possibility to diagnose appendicitis on (18)F-FDG PET/CT and b) the ...
