This case report presents a 60 year old male who had a nodal recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by FDG-PET scan and confirmed by the histopathological analysis. The aim of this case report describes and demonstrates how the nuclear medicine can help in the metastasis scenario of HCC...
It is generally accepted that a non-fasting state reduces [18F]FDG-PET quality, but the significance of higher levels of fasting blood glucose has aroused some doubts over time. The aim of this work was to provide further evidence to clarify this issue and its impact on the handling of hyp...
Colorectal cancer screening in asymptomatic adults: the role of FDG PET scan. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential application of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Emission Tomography (PET) for screening in asymptomatic ind... YK Chen,CH Kao,AC Liao,... - 《Anticancer Research》 被...
FDG-PET for detection of pulmonary metastases from malignant primary bone tumors: Comparison with spiral CT patient who had a true positive FDG-PET had a false negative CT scan, nor was a pulmonary metastases detected earlier by FDG-PET than by spiral CT... C Franzius,H.E. Daldrup-Link...
In two patients with confirmed recurrence, CEA became positive 2 months after PET scan indicating earlier detection of disease with PET. The false positive PET findings were mainly in the bowel and were secondary to acute/chronic inflammation and granulation tissue. In 3 patients with false ...
Clinical value may be added to a whole-body or torso FDG PET/CT scan by adding a dedicated brain FDG PET/CT scan, which may be done on the same injected dose and in a single session before the whole-body or torso scan. This can be achieved in a short 5 mm single field of view ...
So, after the 100 bagging iterations, we were able to rank the predictions for each scan according to the proportion of the respective votes received. The final RVM class assigned to each FDG PET scan was defined by the prediction that received the most votes, i.e. the most often ...
Methods: Five healthy males (mean age 26.2 yrs) underwent 18 fluoro-2-deoxy glucose PET scans immediately before (3 mCi) and after (5 mCi) a 30 minute infusion with PBO. Five templates (A-E) comprised of 62 regions of interest (ROIs) were applied to five matched transaxial planes ...
In two patients with confirmed recurrence, CEA became positive 2 months after PET scan indicating earlier detection of disease with PET. The false positive PET findings were mainly in the bowel and were secondary to acute/chronic inflammation and granulation tissue. In 3 patients with false ...
Before the PET scan, for attenuation correction, a low-dose CT scan was obtained without contrast enhancement from the skull base to the thigh when the patient was supine and breathing quietly. PET scans were also obtained from the skull base to the thigh at 2.5 min per bed position. ...
