A calibration factor between the scan- ner events and in vitro activity is needed and can be ob- tained by means of adequate imaging of a phantom. The dynamic images may be combined with the stan- dard procedures that are used in cancer patients for stud- ies in the whole-body area. ...
For tumors, [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) is the most commonly used radiotracer since it accumulates within tissues with high metabolic activity, such as cancer cells [9]. With the continuous development of medical level and nuclear medicine technology in China, more and more hospitals are ...
Increased FDG uptake, exclusively seen on FDG-PET/CT and not corresponding to physiological uptake patterns or pre-existent activity, was classified as an additional lesion. Densities seen on low-dose CT scan were classified as additional lesions as well. All scans were interpreted by experienced ...

We propose a new method to measure the myocardial FDG uptake during fasting and glucose loading in one day, a myocardial FDG-PET one-day protocol, with both 2- and 3-dimensional data acquisition (2D and 3D) without background activity subtraction. To confirm it, we evaluated the effect of...
Introduction: We have been using a method of paired FDG PET scans immediately prior to and following infusion with psychoactive compounds as a means of assessing regional effects of these drugs on brain metabolism. We wished to test the validity of this method by use of placebo (PBO) ...
