b-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (b-lbl) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) which rarely involves the skin primarily. the positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-d: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18f-fdg pet/ct) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous b-lbl were presented. pet/ct scan demonstrated mild fdg uptake in the ...

UNLABELLED (18)F-FDG PET/CT is used for detecting cancer and monitoring cancer response to therapy. However, because of the variable rates of glucose metabolism, not all cancers are identified reliably. Sodium (18)F was previously used for bone imaging and can be used as a PET/CT skeletal tracer. The combined administration of (18)F and (18)F-FDG in a single PET/CT study for cancer detection ha...

Abstract B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) which rarely involves the skin primarily. The positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-D: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous B-LBL were presented. PET/CT scan demonstrated mild FDG up...

PURPOSE To evaluate the role of (18)F-flurodeoxiglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET/CT) in predicting malignancy of thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed 87 patients who have been scheduled to undergo surgery for thyroid nodule with indeterminate cytology. All patients underwent (18)F-FDG-PET/CT, multiparametric neck ...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), complicating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT scan. Methods: In this retrospective study, 9 HCC patients with FDG-avid PVTT were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), which is a comb...

objective(s): in clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (tg) and negative 131i whole-body scan (wbs) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18f-fdg pet/ct scan in dtc patients with high seru...

PURPOSE (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) scans are frequently performed for the screening or staging of malignant tumors. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in detection of gastric cancer recurrence after curative gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty nine patients who had undergone curative gastrectomy...

This study assessed the feasibility of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET) in the post-therapy surveillance for patients with endometrial cancer showing no evidence of disease (NED). From April 1997 to June 2007, 127 patients with endometrial cancer showing NED were performed (18)F-FDG PET scan. The feasibility of (18)F-FDG PET for the early detection of recurre...

a 60-year-old patient with testicular seminoma was referred for f-18 fdg pet/ct study to evaluate recurrence. in addition to hypermetabolic cervical, mediastinal and hilar lymph node tumoral metastases, segmental intense fdg uptake along the lumbar spinal cord suggestive of tumoral metastasis was noted which quite an unusual presentation is.  at the time of pet study the patient was symptomless...

objective(s): in this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombosis (pvtt), complicating hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in contrast-enhanced fdg pet/ct scan. methods: in this retrospective study, 9 hcc patients with fdg-avid pvtt were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (fdg pet/ct), which is a comb...
