PET Scans (Positron Emission Tomography) Since the turn of the millennium we are now using PET scans (which tag radioactive glucose metabolism) to evaluate the spread and activity of cancer. PET scans are more sensitive than other tests in evaluating cancer patients for many forms of cancer. ...
PET Scans Inform, Improve Treatment in Esophageal CancerJason HoffmanPharmD
UsingPET scansfor colon cancer staging is very common. It is one of the tests that healthcare providers use to learn howextensiveyour colon cancer is – known asstaging and gradingcancer. You may have already been "poked and prodded" with blood tests, filmed with radiographic exams or undergo...
“Combining the third-dose with the ultrafast acquisition (9 s versus 90 s per bed position, for a total acquisition time of 2 min versus 20 min) represents an exam time that is one-tenth of the normal time,” explained Knopp. “This is a critical point for many patients, as faster i...

PET Scans May Allow Early Prediction Of Response To Targeted Therapy Of Thyroid CancerPositron emission tomography (PET) can image metabolic changes following treatment with the protein kinase inhibitor vandetanib, helping to define the therapy response or the effectiveness of the therapeutic agent, ...
Patients with colorectal cancer may benefit from better treatment planning if they receive positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Researchers conducted a study at four PET centers in Australia to examine the impact of the imaging technique on changing the care of patients with proven or suspected...
This can be explained by the total number of items in the presence and involvement subtasks of the algorithm (Fig. 1), as there are more items in the T3 and T4 category that can overrule the tumor size subtask. Secondly, a low metabolic information extraction functionality may be a ...
A total of 270 pediatric patients who underwent total-body PET/CT scans with a uEXPLORER at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were retrospectively enrolled. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) was administered at a dose of 3.7 MBq/kg with an acquisition time of 600 s. Short-term scan PE...
