The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance (18)F-FDG PET/CT and conventional imaging for staging follow-up pediatric osteosarcoma skeletal Ewing sarcoma.We calculated sensitivity, specificity, accuracy (CT, MRI, bone scanning) sites disease number lesions. Diagnostic benefit, defined as better characterization lesions, evaluated on a per-scan basis, comparing imaging.A total 412 lesions were characterized by in 64 patients (20, osteosarcoma; 44, sarcoma). For...
The objective of this study is to systematically review the role positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/computed (PET/CT) with Fluorine-18-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in patients osteosarcoma (OS).A comprehensive literature search published studies through October 10(th), 2012 PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase Scopus databases regarding whole-body FDG-PET FDG-PET/CT OS was performed.We identified 13 including 289 OS. With regard staging restaging OS, diagnostic performance PET/CT seem be high;...
Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in pediatric patients. Despite established role of 123I-MIBG and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy this tumor, only limited data are available regarding use 124I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT). We present our preliminary experience with 124I-MIBG PET/CT: two patients affected by neuroblastoma, who underwent PET/CT for pre-therapy distribution evaluation restaging purposes. aimed to evaluate...
Early in-vivo diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial for accurate management patients, in particular, to select subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) that may evolve into AD, and define other types MCI non-AD patients. The application artificial intelligence functional brain [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography(CT) aiming increase diagnostic accuracy the AD still undetermined. In this field, we propose a radiomics analysis on...
Pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a strong prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study was to investigate whether semiquantitative parameters derived from baseline [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission computed tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) could predict pCR NAC and survival outcomes patients affected by different molecular subtypes BC. We retrospectively retrieved the databases two Italian hospitals...
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether high body mass index (BMI) increases the risk recurrence and correlates with higher glucose uptake in recurrent lesions post-menopausal female patients breast cancer. Methods: A hospital database searched retrieve cancer who had undergone an [18F]FDG PET/CT scan before neoadjuvant chemotherapy curative-intent surgery. BMI calculated at baseline scan. There a median follow-up 5 years after identify (T_rec); lymph nodes (N_rec);...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate correlation between maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), size primary lung lesion, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall (OS) in patients with stage I II non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) 2 years follow-up.Forty-nine I-II NSCLC were included this study. Pre-surgical 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron-emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) performed for all patients. relationship SUVmax, tumour clinical outcome measured. cut-off SUVmax best...
To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of fluorine-18 fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) in comparison to morphological imaging such as computed primary adrenal malignancies.In this multicenter retrospective study, 68 patients with malignancy were included. All had histologically proven diagnosis (adrenocortical carcinoma, malignant pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma lymphoma), one whole body (18)F-FDG PET/CT scan whole-body...
This multicentric study aimed to investigate the main prognostic factors associated with treatment response at 1 year after radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) and last disease status in pediatric patients affected by differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
