Abstract Introduction Hybrid [ 18 F]FDG PET imaging is currently the method of choice for a wide variety infectious and inflammatory disorders was recently adopted in several clinical guidelines. A large amount evidence-based articles, guidelines appropriate use criteria have been published since first version this guideline 2013. Purpose To provide updated information to assist physicians recommending, performing interpreting hybrid examinations adult population. Methods systematic...
FDG PET studies frequently use the liver as an internal reference organ to assess significance of uptake in pathologic processes involving other organs. The purpose this study was whether hepatic steatosis has a significant effect on standardized value (SUV) liver.This prospective case-control analyzed PET/CT scans patients with frank unenhanced CT portion study. Maximum SUVs (corrected for both body weight [SUV(bw)] and lean mass [SUV(lbm)]) 37 were compared those control without...
Risk factors for exercise limitation after acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are unknown. As a planned sub-study of the prospective, multicenter ELOPE (Evaluation Long-term Outcomes PE) Study, we aimed to describe results serial imaging by computed tomography angiography (CTPA) and perfusion scan during 1 year first episode embolism, assess association between parameters at year.In prospective cohort study, 100 patients were recruited June 2010 February 2013 five Canadian university-affiliated...
To compare the performance of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) and conventional tests for cancer screening in autoimmune inflammatory myopathy (AIM) patients.We carried out a retrospective cohort study AIM patients from one academic center Montreal, Canada, classified using myositis-specific antibodies, who underwent F-FDG PET/CT between April 2005 February 2018 were followed up on average 3.5±2.4 years. Patients excluded if follow-up was insufficient,...
A joint task force of subject-matter experts from the European Association Nuclear Medicine (EANM) and Society Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) recently released a revised updated guideline/procedure standard for indications protocols hybrid [18F]FDG imaging in
e16347 Background: Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are a heterogenous group of neoplasms that arise from neuroendocrine cells within various organs. Their aggressivity and metastatic potential varies vastly based on the anatomic site origin histopathological grade. Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP-NET) most common NETs accounting for 55-70% all diagnosed NETs. Despite benefits in PFS, response rates likely OS as result use Lutathera, its implementation wider clinical practice outside established...
Objective The superiority of sodium 18F-fluoride PET (18F-PET)/computed tomography (CT) over planar and single field-of-view single-photon emission computed (SPECT) bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate in metastases detection has been established. present study prospectively compares whole-body SPECT (WB-SPECT) 18F-PET performance indices for the breast cancer. Methods A total 41 pairs studies female cancer patients (average age 58 years, range 30–75) were included. Half-time...
The aim of the study was to compare detectability rate bone metastases in breast cancer patients using whole-body single-photon emission computed tomography (WB-SPECT) performed with a half-time acquisition algorithm that planar ± selected field-of-view SPECT [standard scintigraphy (BS)].Ninety-two consecutive (age range 35-74 years) underwent BS followed by WB-SPECT (acquisition time 28 min). Clinical and imaging follow-up data from BS, 18F-FDG-PET/CT CT were used as composite reference...
A 74-year-old man with newly diagnosed prostate cancer underwent Ga-PSMA PET/CT, which demonstrated intense uptake in and adjacent the L2 vertebral body. Subsequent MRI of lumbar spine showed an aggressive hemangioma soft tissue extension. There was congruence intraosseous extraosseous components PSMA PET uptake. This is a rare but important potential pitfall PET/CT-a lesion tracer related not to nodal metastasis extension body hemangioma.
A 52-year-old man had a positron emission tomography computed (PET-CT) scan for staging of biopsy proven lung adenocarcinoma. An additional acquisition the lower extremities was performed as patient complained bilateral leg pain. The PET-CT showed 6.5 x 5.0 cm left upper lobe mass invading mediastinum with maximal standardized uptake value 10.7, compatible primary cancer. CT portion legs extensive irregular periosteal new bone formation in long bones. PET images diffuse moderately increased...
