Although FDG uptake is closely related to the expression of the glucose transporter (GLUT)
in malignant tumors, such a relationship has not been fully investigated in inflammatory …

Carcinoma of the lung is one of the most frequent malignancies and a major cause of
mortality. The use of positron emission tomography (PET) has been extensively investigated …

Pulmonary delivery of therapeutics is attractive due to rapid absorption and non-
invasiveness but it is challenging to monitor and quantify the delivered aerosol or powder …

Fifty-nine patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (38 men, 21 women;
age range 46— 85y; mean age 65.9 y) were imaged with FDG PET as part of a study …

Objective: To show that PET with 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) can detect peri-
infarct hypoxic tissue in patients after ischemic stroke. Background: PET with 15O-labeled …

Although radiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are still the
methods of choice for the study of lung cancer, they have certain limitations in the …

Study objectives Scintigraphic prediction of the residual pulmonary function following a
lobectomy is not widely employed; its accuracy is poorly known. This study aims at …

Background Accurate prediction of postoperative pulmonary function is important for
ensuring the safety of patients undergoing radical resection for lung cancer. Dynamic …

BACKGROUND Survival in bronchial carcinoma is closely related to the stage of the disease
at the time of diagnosis and a single pulmonary nodule represents a potentially curable …

Methods: Thirty-three patients with histologically-provenprimary lung cancer were examined
with both FDG PET and TI SPECT (early and delayed scans) within a week of each study …
