carcinoma in the head and neck, lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary in the head and neck region or lymphoma, were reviewed.Results: Of the 5476 PET-CT scans performed in as many patients, focal high-grade parotid F-18 FDG uptake was observed in 18 patients (prevalence of 0.3%)...
F-18FDGPEThas long been used to evaluate brain tumors, showing increased glucose metabolism (Fig. 15-21). F-18 FDG uptake is related to metabolic activity and therefore to tumor grade. Because of this, PET can help direct biopsy to the most aggressive region of a tumor. Low-grade gliomas...
18F-FDG was used to label RBCs and assess the erythrophagocytosis. Finally, 18F-FDG PET/CT was applied to reveal and measure the organ distribution of stressed RBCs in mice. Compared with untreated RBCs, stressed RBCs decreased in cell volume and increased in ROS level, intracellular Ca2+ ...

High Dose [F-18]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT Based Imaged-Guided Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IG-IMRT) with Concurrent paclitaxel (P) and Carboplatin (C) in Locally Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (LANSCLC): A Dose-Finding Phase I Study...
To the Editor In the JAMA Clinical Challenge of a patient with a large adrenal tumor,1 we question the need for a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in establishing the need to proceed with surgery. Based on size (5.5 cm...
18F-FDG is expected to favor tumor accumulation. However, even in the most favorable case, the percentage of the injected dose is unlikely to be higher than 10% when gold nanomaterials are administered via intravenous injection. As a matter of fact, to date, GNP studies have been carried ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18) F-FDG) uptake may identify poorly differentiated tumors with a high proliferation rate that are more responsive to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 273 patients (mean age, 44.2 years; range 23-78 years) newly...
Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) with the radiolabeled glucose analog F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) is a sensitive diagnostic tool that images tumors based on increased uptake of glucose. Several recent publications have shown that F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography ...
