In a direct comparison, FDG-PET proved superior to MRI with arterial spin labelling (ASL) for diagnosing and differentiating various forms of dementia; however, there remains a need for the latter ...

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 imaging is not routinely employed in this type of cancer and its role in endometrial cancer is still being studied and yet to be defined. In a series of 41 whole-body PET studies conducted ...

Positive axillary lymph node uptake was seen in seven (10.4%) patients, four of whom had FDG-PET exams (out of 54 patients), and three of whom had choline C-11 exams (out of 13). Ipsilateral ...

And as Rollo told FMD, staging cancer helps boost ... FluoroDeoxyGlucose, or FDG, injected and then imaged with a PET camera, is the current standard for cancer diagnostic imaging.

A prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was performed in 69 patients undergoing FDG PET-CT scans for imaging evaluation of lymphoma. [1] Nearly half of the patients were randomized to a ...

CT and PET/CT scan of the neck through the thyroid gland. (A) Axial image of CT scan. Heterogeneous nodule is located in the isthmus and left thyroid lobe (yellow arrow). (B) 18F-FDG PET SPECT scan.

The effective dose from a PET scan is modest and depends on the activity of the injected FDG (18 F-Fluoro deoxyglucose) and is typically 8 mSv for adults using 400 MBq and is the same whether a part ...

Investigators said it is important for clinicians to interpret scans with knowledge of case-specific context for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ...

Non-enhanced whole-body FDG PET/CT will be performed in all patients and the arterial FDG uptake in the carotid arteries as well as the aorta will be quantified by calculating different uptake ...

The most commonly used radioactive substance in PET imaging is F-FDG, a type of glucose. Once this solution is injected into a vein, it makes parts of your body that use a lot of glucose light up ...
