PET scan results were negative in the cases of three prostatic cancers, one bladder cancer, and two colonic mucosal cancers. High FDG accumulations were noticed in benign lesions such as sarcoidosis, chronic thyroiditis, pulmonary tuberculoma, Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland, and chronic ...
Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) with l8F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is frequently used for tissue characterization, staging and therapy control images (Conti et al. 1996; Sven and Jorg 2001). We examined the potential application of l8F FDG-PET for cancer screening in a large number...
Murano of National Cancer Center, Japan, and his colleague reported a risk–benefit analysis for cancer screening in healthy people by means of dedicated PET or PET/CT with FDG [ 1 ]. They conducted a nationwide survey of FDG-PET cancer screening in 2006 and analyzed the screening situation ...
Application of PET and PET/CT imaging for cancer screening The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential application of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose emission tomography (FDG PET) and PET/CT for screening in asymptom... YK Chen,HJ Ding,CT Su,... - 《Anticancer Research》...
all images transferred to PACS).All scanning imaging data of 72 subjects were retrospectively studied and analyzed qualitatively.Results The primary malignant tumors were identified by FDG-PET-CT in 2 patients(2.7%),one with lung cancer(n=1,T1N0M0),one with thyroid cancer(n=1,T1N1M0).A ...
A method for the screening of PET tracers in early cancer therapy monitoring. The method utilizes a multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) model, measures PET tracer uptake and calculates PET tracer uptake per unit viable volume of the MTSs. It provides a fast and accurate means to determine ...
Imaging and PET-CT of lung cancer (in French) Lung cancer is one of the most frequent occurring cancers in the world. Imaging plays a critical role for screening, diagnosing, staging, and following patients. Although morphologic imaging such as chest X-ray and CT is still useful for... G...
PET CT scan is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure that can identify cancer and certain diseases of the heart and brain. Learn more.
Speaking to AuntMinnieEurope.com, Messerli describes how recent promising results from the NELSON trial mean that lung cancer screening may soon be considered as a serious proposition by many European states. The department’s historical advantage of having the latest PET technology combined with the...
