Aim The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of focal fluorine-18
fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) activity in the lungs using 18 F-FDG PET/computed …

Background Integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)
systems represent a major development allowing functional and anatomical information to …

Abstract F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT that simultaneously offers anatomic and
metabolic information is widely used and has become an effective modality in many clinical …

Objective: To demonstrate 3 cases of artifactual focal F-18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose
accumulation in the lung parenchyma in the absence of any computed tomographic (CT) …

Purpose This study was undertaken to assess the clinical usefulness of fluorine-18
flurodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) coincidence detection (CoDe) positron emission tomography …

Aim To evaluate the effect of the 18F-FDG PET-CT respiratory gating (4D) study in the
correct documentation of pulmonary lesions with faint uptake in standard PET-CT. Methods …

The combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) in
a single device (PET/CT) provides a powerful diagnostic tool opening new horizons for …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to report the prevalence of abnormalities that do
not show increased 18F-FDG uptake on the CT component of integrated PET/CT in patients …

OBJECTIVE. We describe a number of benign focal lung lesions with increased 18F-FDG
uptake that simulate lung cancer and malignant lesions that lead to false-negatives due to …

Benign and malignant pulmonary lesions usually are differentiated by 18F-FDG PET with a
semiquantitative 18F-FDG standardized uptake value (SUV) of 2.5. However, the frequency …
