PET with FDG and various other radiotracers has been used to attempt to diagnose the early onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia. At the same time, perfusion MRI with ASL has been used to indirectly ...

FDG-PET scans may more accurately identify changes in the brain that affect a patient’s ability to function. These scans are used in some developed countries to help identify Alzheimer’s.

15 Oct 2021. FDG PET imaging measures glucose uptake in the brain. It has long served as a proxy for neuronal health—but is it? In the October 13 Science Translational Medicine, researchers led by ...

18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a strong prognosis predictor for neuroendocrine tumors, according to new research from scientists at the Rigshospitalet ...

FDG-PET, with the help of information obtained from anatomical imaging modalities such as CT/MRI showed better diagnostic value (with sensitivity of 100.0%, specificity of 88.2% and accuracy of 93 ...

A 71-year-old woman presented to her physician after several months with enlarged cervical lymph nodes. A biopsy was done, confirming classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A staging FDG-PET/CT revealed ...

PET scans may serve as both a diagnostic and prognostic tool in giant cell arteritis (GCA), according to a new study. In over 100 patients with GCA who underwent 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET ...

FDG-PET/CT could be very helpful in calculating the risk of developing interval metastasis during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal cancer, and it could lead to other more appropriate ...

Results: The detection rate of SRC with F-18 FDG PET/CT was 56.4% (70.6% for AGC, 45.5% for EGC) and it was associated with tumor size. The intensity of FDG uptake was associated with tumor and lymph ...
