Abstract Background With the expansion of use neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC), both dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET CT) are promising methods for assessment tumor response during chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic accuracy DCE-MRI &18 F-FDG PE...

Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and computed tomography (CT) have become the gold standard for staging of esophageal cancer by detecting distant metastases, but metastatic lymph nodes are often difficult to diagnose from the size and standardized uptake value (SUV). If we compare the diagnostic performance of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), CT, and FDG-PET in staging...

Oesophagogastric cancer is one of the top ten cancers diagnosed worldwide and, despite advancements in therapy, has a relatively poor prognosis compared to other common cancers, with a fiveyear survival of only 15-20%. This group of cancers includes tumours of the oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction, which have similar disease characteristics. The role of PETCT in oesophagogastric malign...

Background: A 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) is useful for early metabolic response assessment in various malignancies, including Colorectal Cancer (CRC). Herein, we express that Positron Emission Tomography/Computed (PET-CT) with FDG was very useful for early diagnosis, accuracy and additional value of whole-body in recurrent CRC. Case Report: A 50 years old woman was diagnosed with an ...

Objectives. To determine the prevalence of incidentalomas in a patient population with no known thyroid malignancy who underwent whole body FDG-PET/CT for staging or restaging of neoplasia. The additional aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of using PETCT as a screening tool for malignant thyroid incidentalomas. Methods. Retrospective review of medical records of all the thyroid ex...
