Temporal bone chondroblastoma is an extremely rare benign bone tumor. We encountered two cases showing similar imaging findings on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and dual-time-point (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. In both cases, CT images revealed temporal bone defects and sclerotic changes around the tumor. Most parts of ...

(18)F-FDG PET/CT imaging is an established imaging modality for cancer staging and response assessment. Its role in identifying infective and inflammatory pathologies from malignancy is debated. Dual time - point imaging is a refined technique used to overcome this interpretational dilemma. We present a 59 year old male with an unknown primary malignancy who was referred for a (18)F-FDG PET/CT ...

AIM To assess dual time point 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose (18)(F)FDG PET-CT accuracy in nodal staging and in detection of extra-axillary involvement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dual time point [(18)F] FDG PET/CT scan was performed in 75 patients. Visual and semiquantitative assessment of lymph nodes was performed. Semiquantitative measurement of SUV and ROC-analysis were carried out to calcul...

In this article, we report quantitative preliminary data obtained from retrospective analysis of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and combined PET-computed tomography (PET/CT) examinations in subjects ages 3 to 84 years pertaining to changes in the metabolism of skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle with age, as well as ag...

PURPOSE We investigated the optimum time for the differentiation tumor from inflammation using dynamic FDG-microPET scans obtained by a MicroPET P4 scanner in animal models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-six rabbits with 92 inflammatory lesions that were induced 2, 5, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days after 0.2 ml (Group 1) or 1.0 ml (Group 2) of turpentine oil injection were used as inflammatory models. F...

Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, USA Dixon-based MR is acquired for attenuation correction of brain PET during PET/MR. Early adopters of PET/MR have noted variability in the performance of Dixon-based tissue segmentation, and questions exist regarding potential impacts on quantitative accuracy in dual-time-point studies. Ten patients ...
