INTRODUCTION (18)F-FDG-PET-CT plays an important role in the management of lymphoma postchemotherapy followup. Some centres perform prechemotherapy baseline CT and postchemotherapy PETCT. With a concern of radiation burden, especially in young patients, this study aimed to assess if PETCT radiation dose could be reduced. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 100 lymphoma patients was performed to...

Abstract Background Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) is a subgroup of (NET) that has unique biology and natural history. The histological classification major role in the management this pathology, but recent years Gallium 68 dotatate (68Ga-DOTA) scanning at center discussion about how these imaging technologies can modify clinical tumors their results are correlated to Ki67 index.

Neurolymphomatosis (NLY) is a type of rare disease with poor prognosis, characterized by infiltration of nerves, nerve roots and plexus. We report a case of 54-years old female patient non-diabetic and normotensive diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with pain in the neck and arm and numbness in the ipsilateral hand. The patient underwent 18F fluorodeoxyglucose PET/...

Brain positron emission tomography (PET) has also been used over many years to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases, and has advantages over MRI due to its higher sensitivity to detect pathologies at a molecular level. While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PETCT is an established imaging technique for assisting in the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other forms of dementia, P...

Background Lymphoma is a haematological malignancy that affects both old and young. It is the most common indication for PETCT in the young adult. Lymphoma is the fifth commonest malignancy in the UK after breast, lung, colorectal and prostate cancer, accounting for 11,861 cancer cases in 2008 (4%). The current conventional treatments provide good cure rates, with overall 10-year survival rates...

A 71-year-old woman was referred to our tertiary care center for evaluation of asymptomatic recurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism. As per our protocol, the patient underwent neck/mediastinum F-fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) for localization. In our institution, FCH PET-CT is performed in patients with hyperparathyroidism and negative convention...
