We report 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positive Warthin tumor in a contralateral cervical lymph node mimicking metastasis in tongue cancer staging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

We present the case of a subclinical seizure identified during positron emission tomography with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose in a patient with cavernous malformations.

BACKGROUND Lung derecruitment is common during general anesthesia. Mechanical ventilation with physiological tidal volumes could magnify derecruitment, and produce lung dysfunction and inflammation. The authors used positron emission tomography to study the process of derecruitment in normal lungs ventilated for 16 h and the corresponding changes in regional lung perfusion and inflammation. M...

OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography is indicated for clinical staging of superficial cancer, we sought to determine if it accurately classifies tumor (T), regional nodal (N), and distant metastases (M), including distinguishing high-grade dysplasia (Tis) from invasive cancer (T1). METHODS Fifty-eight superficial esophageal cancer patients had preoper...

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...

The factors driving clinical heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease are not well understood. This study assessed the relationship between amyloid deposition, glucose metabolism and clinical phenotype in Alzheimer's disease, and investigated how these relate to the involvement of functional networks. The study included 17 patients with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (age at onset <65 years), 12 p...

Imaging is essential for evaluating patients with glioblastoma. Traditionally a multimodality undertaking, CT, including CT cerebral blood profusion, PET/CT traditional fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), and MRI have been the mainstays diagnosis post-therapeutic assessment. However, recent advances in these modalities, league emerging fields of radiomics theranostics, may prove helpful i...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION When a pulmonary nodular lesion is detected by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in a patient with post-surgical papillary thyroid carcinoma with undetectable serum-stimulated thyroglobulin levels and negative 131I whole body scan, diagnosis and management of the nodule may be confusing. CASE PRESENTATION We describe two post-s...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND Evaluation of the metabolic response to radiotherapy in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients is commonly performed about three months after the end of radiotherapy. The aim of the present study was to assess with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose changes in glucose metabolism during and after radiotherapy in non-small cell lu...
