Background This paper is based on the results from an ongoing prospective trial designed to investigate usefulness of FDG PET in complicated diabetic foot. Aim To potential utility imaging setting acute neuropathic osteoarthropathy (Charcot's foot). Patients and methods A total 63 patients, four groups, were evaluated. The groups were: (A) 17 patients with a clinical diagnosis Charcot's neuroarthropathy (11 men, six women; mean age: 59.4±8.6 years); (B) 21 uncomplicated foot (16 five 63±10...
Background: Prostate cancer, the 2nd most frequent cancer-related death among males in United States, is primarily found male reproductive organ. Aim: To evaluate role of PSMA PET/CT-derived volumetric quantitative parameters prostate cancer patient follow-up, assessing their precision and correlation with PSA levels. Patients methods: This prospective investigation involved 98 cases pathologically proven well-differentiated cancer. The study would be conducted Nuclear Medicine Radiation...
Background and objectives Minimal-to-low grade fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the parotid glands is regarded as a normal variant whole-body survey with FDG-PET. Not frequently, however, relatively intense or asymmetric FDG encountered glands. The aim of this study was to determine causes characteristics ‘FDG accumulation uncertain significance’ patients without any known suspected pathologies at time In addition, we also examined whom there no documented evidence pathology before FDG-PET...
Situs inversus totalis is a rare anomaly characterized by transposition of organs to the opposite site body. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in those patients technically more demanding and needs reorientation visual-motor skills left upper quadrant.Herein, we report 10 year old boy presented with hypochondrium epigastric pain 2 months duration. The patient had not been diagnosed as situs before. exhibit sided "Murphy's sign". Diagnosis was confirmed ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT)...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the role PET in management patients with primary malignant salivary gland (SG) tumor. Material and Methods: Sixty-one FDG studies 48 (median age 58, range 28–89 years, 20 female, 28 male) who were diagnosed SG tumors retrospectively analyzed. Thirteen referred for initial diagnosis staging while there a suspicion recurrence and/or metastatic disease during follow-up period. Results: On examinations 13 on presentation, 12 showed increased uptake...
The purpose of this study was to determine whether dual-phase (18)F-FDG PET could be a prognostic factor for adenocarcinoma the lung.One hundred patients with histologically proven lung were included in retrospective analysis. All underwent pretherapy which, after intravenous administration (18)F-FDG, both early (approximately 60 min) and delayed 90 acquired. percentage change maximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax) cancer between images calculated. Overall survival SUVmax over time...
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been proposed to modulate underlying coronary plaque features. The study aimed determine the relation between segmental EAT (sEAT) volume, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and characteristics, as estimated multidetector computed tomography (CT) (MDCT). included 32 male patients with stable angina pectoris 11 age-matched healthy controls. For each CAD patient, sEAT volume around 8 segments (3 in left anterior descending artery, 3 right 2...
