A PET central metabolic defect was defined as no [18F]FDG uptake in more than 70–80% of the anterior mediastinal mass. The CT shape was classified as round when the ratio between the long-axis and short-axis dimensions was less than 1.5, and oval when the ratio was greater than 1.5....
Thus, we performed the micro-PET experiments using the18F-FDG radiotracer to examine whether MEE alters brain activity. We noted a higher uptake of18F-FDG in the ethanol-exposed presymptomatic APP/PS1 mice compared to the air-exposed presymptomatic APP/PS1 mice, especially in the cortex and ...

Accordingly, elevated 18Fluorodesoxyglucose (FDG) uptake was present in 92% of CCCs [7]. This phenomenon, also called the Warburg effect, indicates that cancer cells generate energy predominantly via glycolysis even if sufficient oxygen is present. At first, it seems paradoxical that tumors use ...
BM involvement was determined in the pathological review of the BM biopsy or visual interpretation of marrow fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake during whole-body staging positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning by nuclear medicine radiologists. The CCI, which is ...

The aim of this observational study was to present a cohort of patients with high FDG uptake in BAT who underwent a second scan after receiving a low dose of propranolol, to determine whether the use of this premedication could improve the diagnostic confidence of FDG-PET scans by inhibition ...
