This article discusses attenuation correction strategies in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and 4-dimensional PET/CT imaging. Average CT scan derived from averaging the high temporal resolution CT images is effective in improving the registration of the CT and the PET images and quantification of the PET data. It underscores list-mode data acquisition in 4-dimensional ...
BACKGROUND Surgical resection is the preferred treatment of potentially curable esophageal cancer. To improve long term patient outcome, many institutes apply neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. In a large proportion of patients no response to chemoradiotherapy is achieved. These patients suffer from toxic and ineffective neoadjuvant treatment, while appropriate surgical therapy is delayed. For this...
INTRODUCTION Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a powerful tool for monitoring the response of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) to therapy, but the criteria to interpret PET/CT results remain under debate. We investigated the value of post-treatment PET/CT in predicting the prognosis of DLBCL patients when interpreted acco...
We present a case demonstrating the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of a patient with acute Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in which the clinical picture and imaging on (18)F-FDG PET/CT mimicked malignant lymphoma. Follow-up (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan in the patient performed 7 weeks after the abnormal scan revealed complete resolution of the metabolically active disease in the neck, axillas, lu...
Unintentional intraarterial injection of radiotracers may cause artifacts leading to difficulties in accurately interpreting PET/CT images. We report a case of a 73-y-old man with a history of metastatic colon cancer who underwent a PET/CT scan for restaging. In the PET scan, there was intense and diffuse distribution of (18)F-FDG in his left forearm and hand. This is a classic sign of an accid...
Background: The purpose of this study was to combine intraoperative gamma probe (GP) detection with preoperative fluorine 18-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (18F FDG-PET) imaging in order to improve detection of tumor recurrence in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods: Twenty-one patients (12 females, 9 males) with a mean age of 54 years (range 31–78) were enrolled. Pat...
UNLABELLED A 55-year-old patient, who had undergone excisional biopsy of upper lip two years ago and diagnosed to have squamous cell carcinoma, was referred to us for evaluation with Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT (F-18 FDG-PET/CT) scan. F-18 FDG-PET/CT scan was performed and the maximum intensity projection images (MIP) showed unusual FDG uptake...
MATERIALS AND METHODS. This retrospective study gathered the information from patient medical records at Bangkok Hospital Medical Center. The patients were examined for colorectal cancer from May 2007 to November 2009 and received the pre-operative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan before having oncologic colorectal surgery during the time period mentioned above. Th...
