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...
The purpose of the report was to evaluate the role of fluorine-18 fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) in staging gastric cancer comparing it with contrast enhancement computed tomography (CECT).This retrospective study included 45 patients who underwent performed whole body CECT and F-FDG PET/CT before any treatment. We calculated CECT and F-...
BACKGROUND 18F-FDG PET has been used in sarcoidosis for diagnosis and determination of the extent of the disease. However, assessing inflammatory lesions in cardiac sarcoidosis using 18F-FDG can be challenging because it accumulates physiologically in normal myocardium. Another radiotracer, 3'-deoxy-3'-18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT), has been investigated as a promising PET tracer for evaluating...
A significant amount of data has been published over the past decade regarding the clinical utility of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in the diagnosis and management of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). This includes studies examining interim FDG-PET, which has been shown to be a strong tool for predicting relapse and survival, especially in advanced- stage HL. Despite progres...
OBJECTIVE Accurate baseline staging is necessary to appropriately treat pancreatic cancer. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical contribution of whole body FDG-PET to the detection of distant metastasis in pancreatic cancer. METHODS A total of consecutive 42 patients with previously untreated pancreatic cancer were examined. Whole body FDG-PET imaging for initial staging w...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of (18)F-FDG-PET in the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease is increasing and should be validated. The aim of this study was to assess the inter-rater variability in the interpretation of (18)F-FDG-PET images obtained in the Japanese Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, a multicenter clinical research project. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study analyzed 274 (1...
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is increasingly used as an adjunct to clinical evaluation in the diagnosis of dementia. Considering that most FDG-PET studies in dementia use clinical diagnosis as gold standard and that clinical diagnosis is approximately 80% sensitive or accurate, we aim to review the evidence-based data on the diagnostic accuracy of...
This study assessed the feasibility of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET) in the post-therapy surveillance for patients with endometrial cancer showing no evidence of disease (NED). From April 1997 to June 2007, 127 patients with endometrial cancer showing NED were performed (18)F-FDG PET scan. The feasibility of (18)F-FDG PET for the early detection of recurre...
OBJECTIVES To compare staging correctness between contrast-enhanced FDG PET/ceCT and 64-slice multi-detector-row CT (ceCT64) for initial staging and response evaluation at the end of treatment (EOT) in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and follicular lymphoma. METHODS This prospective study compared initial staging and response evaluation at EOT. One hundr...
BACKGROUND 2-[18F]-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (FDG-PET) is a well established functional imaging modality for the initial staging of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in patients from Western Europe and North America. The reliability of FDG-PET in populations of different ethnic groups is unclear, as all investigations published to date have come from developed countries. PURPOSE The aim of the present stu...
