Mediastinal and hilar lymph node enlargement on CT are rare and were initially thought to be against a diagnosis of COVID-19 [1]. Nonetheless, subsequent studies reported lymphadenopathies in patients with severe COVID-19 [3]. Herein, we report a young woman with COVID-19 who had hilar ...
(a) Axial contrast-enhanced CT, (b) FDG PET, and (c) fused PET/CT fused images show enlarged right hilar lymph node demonstrate markedly increased FDG uptake, with max.SUV ∼ 17.4, finding suggestive of mediastinal lymph node metastasis. Download: Download full-size image Fig. 5. ...
(i) enlarged or 2-[18F]FDG-avid ipsilateral hilar nodes [since proven nodal involvement may change the target volume], (ii) primary tumour without 2-[18F]FDG uptake [since 2-[18F]FDG is thus not reliable for staging], or (iii) tumour size ≥ 3 cm (a priori higher risk for ...
FDG avid foci highlight sites of infection while quantification of uptake using semi-quantitative parameters such as standardized uptake values (SUVs) serve to measure the extent of inflammatory activity in specific regions of the body [3, 19, 29–32, 34, 35, 38–43] Although not recommended...
Evaluation of FDG Avid pulmonary hilar and lower mediastinal lymph nodes - Should we consider them suspicious from malignity?V., PtacnikD., ZogalaD., ChroustovaJ., Kubinyi
The need for biopsy of FDG avid hilar nodes in this cohort should be carefully considered due to the low diagnostic utility.doi:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.08.080HA.FeldmanJJ.ErasmusN.ZhouMB.AntonoffRJ.MehranR.RajaramDC.RiceB.SepesiSG.Swisher...

medicine specialists having experience of more than 10 years. It showed a large FDG avid (SUVmax 15.2) heterogeneously enhancing mass occupying superior, middle and posterior mediastinum causing the trachea, esophagus as well as the heart to shift toward the right, abutting the arch of aorta and...
Limited-view tumour imaging can be considered for follow-up examinations if the disease is restricted to a defined region (e.g. solitary pulmonary nodule, suspicion of lung cancer, examination of hilar lymph nodes, head and neck tumours, assessment of therapy response). If limited-view imaging ...
