The complexity of the pathological reactions of the brain to an aggression caused by an internal or external noxa represents a challenge for molecular imaging. Positron emission tomography (PET) can indicate in vivo, anatomopathological changes involved in the development of different clinical symptoms in patients with neurodegenerative disorders. PET and the multitracer concept can provide inf...

Angiosarcoma is a rare entity in breast cancer patients. 18-F-Flourodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography (PET/CT) is usually used in breast cancer patients for staging, re-staging and treatment response. Lymphangiosarcoma also called as Stewart-Treves Syndrome can be develop in the following years as a complication after therapy of breast cancer. Imaging and stag...

fibrous dysplasia of the bone (fdb) is a common, genetic, developmental disorder with a benign course. fdb can be seen anywhere throughout the skeleton. it is usually asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging studies that are performed for other purposes. although whole body 18 f-flourodeoxyglucose pet/ct (fdg pet/ct) is widely used in tumor imaging, infections and benign pathologies like ...

In recent years, flourodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) has been used intensively in the field of oncology. However, an increase in FDG uptake has been observed both in malignant tissues, and inflammatory processes. Therefore false-positive results have appeared. We present a 70-year-old male patient who presented to the hospital with right lower quadra...

BACKGROUND Arterial calcium (Ca) deposition has been identified as an active inflammatory process. We sought to test the hypothesis that local vascular inflammation predisposes to subsequent arterial calcium deposition in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS From a hospital database, we identified 137 patients (age, 61 ± 13 years; 48.1% men) who underwent serial positron-emission tomography/computed t...
