The aim of the study was to evaluate potential role fludeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in detection bone/bone marrow disease patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL).We retrospectively reviewed ((18)F)-FDG-PET/CT scans 122 newly diagnosed, biopsy-proven cases HL performed between November 2009 and June 2010. All were staged before treatment by both PET/CT bone biopsy (BMB). Patients subdivided into three groups based on findings FDG-PET/CT. Group A consisted showing...
To evaluate the inclusion of radiologists or nuclear medicine physicians (imaging specialists) as authors systematic reviews (SRs) on imaging and imaging-guided diagnostic procedures to determine impact specialists' presence overall quality reviews.A MEDLINE EMBASE search was performed for SRs interventional image-guided that were published from January 2001 December 2010. about primarily by nonimaging specialists excluded. The among SR frequency publication in journals evaluated. a subset...
Detection of primary tumor site in patients with carcinoma unknown (CUP) syndrome has always been a diagnostic dilemma, necessitating extensive workup. Early detection coupled specific therapy improves prognosis. The low rate the can be attributed to biological behavior or small size detected by conventional imaging. objective this study was evaluate accuracy 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) detecting CUP.A retrospective,...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall and progression-free survival papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), comparing American Thyroid Association (ATA) guideline for risk recurrence with TNM staging system dynamic assessment at 2 years.This is a retrospective analysis 689 PTC patients over 20-year period single center. Disease-free based on ATA calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Dynamic response during first years compared both systems. Survival age, baseline resectability,...
To evaluate the overall and progression-free survival for follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) based on American Thyroid Association (ATA) staging system recurrence risk assessment TNM system.A clinical review of FTC patients between 1995 2014 was conducted at a single center. The data classified using into low, intermediate, high as per ATA assessment.Over course 19 years, 114 (11.9%) all cancer presenting to our hospital had (i.e. 78 females 36 males). age range 15-80 years. Ninety-four...

Abstract Ectopic thyroid is a rare/incidental imaging finding. When discovered, 90% of ectopic found typically along the pathway embryologic migration tissue, whereas around 10% have been discovered in other anatomical locations including mediastinum and heart. Thyroid scintigraphy with 99m Tc sodium pertechnetate (TcO 4 ) peculiar for tissue uptake. The current case, clinically euthyroid, had heterogeneous uptake multinodular goiter right paratracheal location on functional TcO . Subsequent...
This study sought to determine the diagnostic yield of SPECT/CT in localizing axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) early breast cancer patients where planar scintigraphy (PS) was equivocal or negative.Prospective analysis stage with non-palpable undergoing SLN localization prior nodal sampling for staging. PS findings were categorized as: Category A: non-visualization SLN; B: unusual uptake location; C: / difficult interpretation. The K-coefficient Cohen used evaluate correlation between and...
A 30-year-old man with a history of stage IV AE diffuse large cell lymphoma left proximal humerus presented new onset lower limb weakness at completion chemotherapy. The 18F-FDG PET-CT scan showed increased intraspinal uptake from T12 to S1 vertebrae unique "bottle brush" appearance in keeping spinal meningeal disease. leptomeningeal disease was further confirmed on correlative MRI scan.
Intravenous tumor extension is a well-recognized phenomenon occurring in various malignancies but relatively rare entity thyroid carcinoma. In patients with poorly differentiated cancer (pDTC), I-131 avid superior vena cava (SVC) thrombus at initial presentation infrequent and potential life threatening. Tumor can form either due to direct vascular of the primary mass or by hematogenous spread. Hybrid nuclear imaging differentiate two entities, which impact treatment plan patient. We present...

A case pleomorphic liposarcoma involvement gland adds list cases metastases gland. patient a palpable nodule 2 months’ duration had scan 130 MBq (3.5 mCi) Tc-99m pertechnetate.

Mirels' scoring system quantifies the risk of sustaining a pathologic fracture in osseous metastases weight bearing long bones. Conventional is based on radiographs. Our pilot study proposes Tc MDP bone SPECT-CT modified and its comparison with conventional scoring. Cortical lysis was noted 8(24%) by versus 2 (6.3%) X-rays. Additional parameters were; circumferential involvement [1/4 (31%), 1/2 (3%), 3/4 (37.5%), 4/4 (28%)] extra-osseous soft tissue [3%]. suggests potential role predicting...
Abstract To compare the detection efficacy of radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy (LS) versus patent blue dye (PBD) technique for hidden sentinel lymph node (SLN) in breast cancer patients and to determine which modality is better SLN detection. One hundred thirty-four early stage female with clinically negative axilla who underwent post technetium-99m nanocolloid injection single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) on planar imaging were studied prospectively between 2015 2017....
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma, which accounts for 10-15% of pulmonary cancers and exhibits early metastatic spread. This study aimed to determine the added value 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging SCLC, compared conventional computed tomography (CT) scan its potential role as a prognosticator.This retrospective review was conducted on 23 patients, who were histopathologically diagnosed have SCLC referred undergoing...
