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. Method...

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...

We report a case of a 75 year-old man who was diagnosed with a L3-L4 spondylitis with psoas abscess documented at Prevotella denticola. However, the dental origin of the bacteria, the presence of the spondylitis, and the identification on an aneurysm of the inter-atrial septum with a patent oval foramen and finally the metabolic activity of the aortic valve and teeth revealed by 18FFDG PET/ CT ...

Late-life depression (LLD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are the two most frequent neuropsychiatric disorders affecting elderly. LLD and AD may clinically present with depressive and cognitive symptoms. Therefore, when cognitive decline is coupled with depression in the elderly, the differential diagnosis between LLD and AD could be challenging. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in a ...

Fever of unknown (FUO) origin challenges clinical condition. The causes of FUO are diverse: possible etiologies include infectious diseases, chronic granulomatous diseases, malignity, connective tissue disorders and vasculitis. Giant cell arteritis which affects the aorta and its main branches, contributes up to 17% of cases with fever of unknown origin above age 50. There is increasing evidenc...

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...
