detection of chordoma recurrence by f-18 fdg-pet/ct
Authors
abstract
background: despite the relative success of surgical resection followed by proton, proton/photon, or conventional radiotherapy in terms of recurrence-free survival, chordomas are still associated with a high rate of recurrence. to our knowledge there are only very few reported cases of this rare tumor detected by f-18 fdg-pet. materials and methods: in this case we show the significance of f-18 fdg-pet/ct in detection of recurrent chordoma in a 38 year old man with a history of the disease and a newly detected cervical lymphatic mass. results: the fused pet/ct images manifested the presence of two abnormal foci of tracer uptake corresponding to a retroclavicular and an infrajugular lymph node proved to be metastases of the previous chordoma in histopathology. conclusion: further employment of f-18 fdg-pet/ct in this rare tumour type might eventually define and establish its value in staging of chordoma. iran. j. radiat. res., 2012 10(2): 109‐110

full textEarly detection of encephalitis with (18)F-FDG PET/CT.
Encephalitis is a relatively rare condition for which making an accurate diagnosis can be challenging. In fact, clinical features are not specific and structural imaging can be normal in a considerable number of cases. However, an early diagnosis is important as many forms of treatment are effective if started promptly. Even though recent guidelines do not recommend (18)F-FDG PET/CT for patient...
