Flourine-18 fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) is a useful test for the management of malignant conditions. Inflammatory and infectious processes, however, can cause increased uptake on PET scanning, often causing diagnostic dilemmas. This knowledge is important to the rheumatologist not only because of the inflammatory con...

Flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET, particularly when performed on a combined PET/CT scanner, provides an exciting new technique for characterising the presence, extent and biological characteristics of head and neck cancer at all phases of the diagnostic evaluation process. As a functional imaging technique, it is not constrained by structural changes either for diagnosis or exclusion of disea...

Introduction: This study presents first experimental results on the effect of fluorine on near-liquidus phase equilibria of an Adirondack-class Martian basalt. The basis of this study is our previous work on anhydrous [1] and chlorine bearing [2] systems which has already shown that: 1) the Adirondack-class basalts are evolved liquid compositions [1] and 2) that chlorine has a large effect on l...

The testis shows physiologic uptake in flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of FDG uptake of normal testis on PET/computed tomography (CT), especially in relationship to various clinical parameters. We obtained the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and the mean standardized uptake value (SUVmea...
