Tissue macrophage numbers vary during health versus disease. Abundant inflammatory macrophages destruct tissues, leading to atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Emerging therapeutic options create interest in monitoring macrophages in patients. Here we describe positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18F-Macroflor, a modified polyglucose nanoparticle with high avidi...
Malignant transformation of tumor accompanies profound changes in the normal neighboring tissue, called tumor stroma. The tumor stroma provides an environment favoring local tumor growth, invasion, and metastatic spreading. Nuclear imaging (PET/SPECT) measures biochemical and physiologic functions in the human body. In oncology, PET/SPECT is particularly useful for differentiating tumors from p...
Stanford University, Department of Radiology, Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, USA Recently, a whole-body, simultaneous positron emission tomography magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) system combing MRI with time-of-flight (TOF) PET has been developed. We present our initial experience with human clinical studies using 18Ffluorodeoxyglucase (FDG) with this scanner, in compa...
Abstract Backgraound: Hypoxia is an important determinant for biological behavior of malignant solid tumors. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that tumor hypoxia is associated with an increased likelihood of local recurrence and distant metastasis, as well as resistance to radiation therapy and certain types of chemotherapy. Studies have shown that some copper-bis thiosemicarbazones es...
Background Patient acceptance is an important factor when implementing imaging methods in clinical practice in line with availability, diagnostic accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. Purpose To investigate patient experience and acceptance regarding18F-sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), 11 C-choline-PET/CT, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI...
The evaluation of patients with known or suspected recurrent colorectal carcinoma is now an accepted indication for positron emission tomography using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) imaging. FDG-PET does not replace imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) for preoperative anatomic evaluation but is indicated as the initial test for diagnosis and staging of recurrence and for pre...
The aim of this retrospective analysis was to describe our clinical experience for fluorine-18 (F) fluorodeoxglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with soft tissue and osseous sarcoma. Total of 26 F-FDG PET/CT scans were evaluated in 17 patients (7 osteosarcoma, 5 Ewing’s sarcoma, 3 uterine sarcoma and 2 rhabdomyosarcoma) in different stages of dise...
BACKGROUND (18)F-FDG PET/CT is widely utilized in the management of cancer patients. The aim of this paper was to comprehensively describe the specific methodology utilized in our single-institution cumulative retrospective experience with a multimodal imaging and detection approach to (18)F-FDG-directed surgery for known/suspected malignancies. METHODS From June 2005-June 2010, 145 patients ...
PURPOSE Respiratory motion causes substantial artifacts in reconstructed PET images when using helical CT as the attenuation map in PET/CT imaging. In this study, we aimed to reduce the respiratory artifacts in PET/CT images of patients with lung tumors using an abdominal compression device. METHODS Twelve patients with lung cancer located in the middle or lower lobe of the lung were recruite...
Objective(s): Functional imaging presents a non-invasive process that may capture the hyper-metabolic nature of red bone marrow in myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as polycythemia vera (PV). Methods: This study analyzed the FDG-PET/CT scans (n=12) of six patients diagnosed with PV and six age-sex matched controls using a quantitative global analysis methodol...
