Purpose: The [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) is known to be one of the most used radio-pharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography. [18F]-FDG allows assessment glycolytic activity, which more enhanced in tumor cells than normal cells. It also heart and neurological diseases. aim our work follow possibility modifying develop an indirect radiofluorination procedure applicable under stan...

©2018 Turkish League Against Rheumatism. All rights reserved. Immunoglobulin G4-related lung disease (IgG4RLD) is a disease in which IgG4-positive plasma cells and lymphocytes infiltrate lung tissues along with immunohistochemically evident fibrous interstitial proliferation in the background.1,2 Since the first report of a patient with IgG4-RLD in 2004,3 many similar patients have been describ...

BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are commonly found on medical imaging studies, such as Computerized Tomography (CT) scans, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) scans, or other imaging studies, which are performed for another reason (ie. the test is ordered without knowledge of the presence of a thyroid nodule). When thyroid nodules are detected on imaging studies...

Case 1 A 69-year–old woman, with an aortic bioprosthetic valve implanted 2 years before, was referred to our department because of a suspicion of endocarditis. She had experienced fever for 1 week, and Haemophilus parainfluenza was identified in 1 blood culture. The total white blood count (WBC) was 12 10/L, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 60 mm. The first transthoracic and tra...

Lesions of the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) are a cause for foot lameness in horses. Positron emission tomography (PET) could provide valuable information regarding metabolic activity these lesions. The aims this exploratory, prospective, methods comparison study were to assess ability 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET detect DDFT lesions and compare findings with CT MRI findings...

Purpose: We evaluate the appearances of brain metastases (BMs) detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) small cell lung cancer (SCLC) on 18Fluor-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
 Patients and methods: SCLC patients who had an 18F-FDG PET/CT scan a MRI within 30 days for initial staging were included. was used to detect BMs. The res...

Background: the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) parameters in both overall survival and progression-free survival in Stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 267 patients who were diagnosed as Stage I-III non-smal...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, known as Kikuchi disease, is a rare benign and self-limiting disorder that typically affects the regional cervical lymph nodes. Generalized lymphadenopathy and extranodal involvement are rare. We report a rare case of a 19-year-old female with a history of persistent fever, nausea, and debilitating malaise. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/co...

Metabolic cardiac imaging with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET) has been established as the diagnostic and prognostic gold standard. This is usually combined with a perfusion scan, as the classical diagnostic finding is the so-called flow–metabolism mismatch (low flow, preserved FDG uptake). Hybrid PET/computed tomography (CT) and single photon emission comp...
