[18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) uptake is enhanced in most malignant tumours which
in turn can be measured using positron emission tomography (PET). A number of small …

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in developed countries. The
prognosis is poor, with less than 15% of patients surviving 5 years after diagnosis. The poor …

Enhanced glucose and lipid metabolism is one of the most common properties of malignant
cells. ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) is a key enzyme of de novo fatty acid synthesis responsible …

PURPOSE: To present prevalence screening data from a nonrandomized screening trial by
using low-dose computed tomography (CT) and a simple algorithm based on the size and …

Functional imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) is playing an increasingly
important role in the diagnosis and staging of malignant disease, image-guided therapy …

Purpose: To prospectively study the capacity of positron emission tomography (PET) and
computed tomography (CT) to determine response soon after radical radiotherapy or …

The role of positron emission tomography (PET) during the past decade has evolved rapidly
from a pure research tool to a methodology of enormous clinical potential. Perhaps the most …

Background: While pulmonary nodules can be substantially divided into solid and ground-
glass opacity (GGO) ones on CT image, they have different biological natures which could …

BACKGROUND The role and potential value of positron emission tomography (PET)
scanning in certain tumors has been widely investigated in recent years. The authors …

Cancer cells show increased metabolism of both glucose and amino acids, which can be
monitored with 18 F-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose (FDG), a glucose analogue, and 11 Cl …
