This chapter briefly reviews the basic classification and imaging aspects of breast cancer; describes the currently approved clinical indications, as defined by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and discusses the accuracy, strengths, and limitations of FDG-PET....
Therefore, the combination of functional (PET) with commonly used cross-sectional imaging techniques (MRI, CT) can help characterize and monitor liver tumors with the potential to improve TACE toward becoming a more personalized and tumor microenvironment-directed therapy. 展开 ...
Diagnostic Role of Fluorodeoxyglucose PET in Breast Cancer A History to Current Application Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women in developing countries, stands second in developed countries, and accounts for 15.3% of all...

The objective was to investigate longitudinal changes in fluorodeoxyglucose PET scan (FDG-PET) in a patient with pulmonary sarcoidosis prior to and during treatment with inhaled corticosteroids followed by systemic corticosteroids. The patient was a 41-year-old man presenting with stage I pulmonary sarc...
OBJECTIVES: Metabolic positron emission tomography (PET) is a new imaging modality for the detection of tumours, which uses fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to demonstrate increased carbohydrate metabolism of malignant cells. The management of testicular germ cell tumours in adults raises three clinical problems ...
Using a 2.2-mg/l SUV threshold, 12 PET/CT studies were positive and 38 negative with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of 53%, 91%, 75% and 79%, respectively. For NSCLC only (n = 24), ROC area was 0.95 ± 0.04, 7 studies were positive and 17 ...
To determine the usefulness of positron emission tomography with fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (PET-FDG) in assessing mediastinal disease in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to compare its yield to that of computed tomography (CT), we performed a prospective consecutive sample investiga...
18F-FDG PET/CT imaging showed that stressed RBCs were mainly trapped in spleen, while untreated RBCs remained in circulation system. Thus, stressed RBCs can be effectively labelled by 18F-FDG and tend to be trapped in spleen of mice as assessed by PET/CT....
PURPOSE: To prospectively investigate the diagnostic accuracy of [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) with dual-time-point imaging, contrast-enhanced CT (ceCT), and bone scintigraphy (BS) in patients with suspected breast cancer recurrence. PATIE...
Purpose to assess the input of Fluorine-18 Fluorodesoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (18F-FDG PET scan) for diagnosis of sarcoidosis associated with unexplained chronic uveitisMethods Retrospective study of 54 patients with unexplained chronic uveitis for whom a PET scan was done because of susp...
