Introduction to F Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron

The use of fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography CT (FDG-PET-CT) is helpful only in a few mimics of lung cancer.

The authors report a series of cases of treated nodal, solid malignancies showing persisting physical residue after completion of treatment with 18-F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computerized tomography showing non-avid status conjuring a nondisease desmoplastic residue over morphological disease.

Positron emission t omog r aphy / c ompu t e d t omog r aphy w i t h 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) showed glucose hypometabolism in bilateral cerebral hemisphere, especially the frontoparietal cortex.

血液検査にて白血球数の増加,ACE値は正常であっ たがsoluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R)値の上昇を認 め,18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography(FDG-PET)検査にて頸部,両肩,骨盤周囲,臀部な ど全身の筋,関節,リンパ節等に異常集積を認めたため, 精査加療目的にてX年1月に当科入院となった.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic ability of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) scan in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck treated with chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy only.

Objective: This study evaluated the metabolic parameters and texture features of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis and differentiation of endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH), EAH with field cancerization (FC), and stage 1A endometrial carcinoma (EC 1a).

The primary aim of this study was to study incidentally detected meningiomas (on 68Ga-DOTATATE/18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography [18F-FDG PET/CT]) in metastatic NET patients referred for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT).

18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is often performed, but its utility in Schnitzler syndrome has not been specifically investigated.

On the basis of the red flags that have been proposed to raise suspicion of anti-NMDAr encephalitis, a study of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography was requested and demonstrated bilateral occipital hypometabolism consistent with clinical suspicion of anti-NMDAr encephalitis.

Electrocardiogram-gated thallium-201 Single Photon Emission Tomography (TL-SPECT) and 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG) were performed separately, and revealed large anterior myocardial infarction with markedly reduced tracer uptake, suggestive of non-viable myocardium.

Due to the introduction of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography for staging, the evaluation of not only lymph node involvement but also organ involvement, including liver or spleen, has become simplified.

We aimed to evaluate the influence of noise and object size on segmentation accuracy of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging.

Single-photon emission computed tomography or 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed decreased thalamic glucose metabolism in three patients.

The Role of 18F Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Scanning in the Diagnosis and Management of Systemic Vasculitis.

This is an uncommon presentation feature of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), which was first recognized after the introduction of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT)-based diagnostic imaging in the pre-therapeutic staging of cHL.
