We tested the hypothesis that the uptake of [18 F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), as measured
by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, would correlate with inflammation caused …

Background: Clinical FDG/PET (2-deoxy-2-18 F-fluoro-D-glucose/positron emission
tomography) studies encounter difficulties in detecting early stage lung cancers. The aim of …

A, CT scan shows spiculated noncalcified right upper lobe lung nodule and emphysema. B
and C, Axial (B) and coronal (C) PET images show increased FDG activity (arrows) at right …

The aim of the present study was to determine the tumour specificity of the newly developed
nucleoside metabolic positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, 3'‑deoxy‑3'‑18F …

Malaria, a disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, remains one of the most deadly
infectious diseases known to mankind. The parasite has a complex life cycle, of which only …

Background To assess the predictive value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission
tomography (FDG–PET/CT) in detecting mediastinal lymph node metastasis with …

The radiologic manifestations of aspiration pneumonia are protean and have been well-
described. FDG PET has been used successfully in the evaluation of cancer. However, FDG …

Bleomycin is a widely used chemotherapeutic that has been shown to induce life-
threatening interstitial lung disease in a small subset of patients. We report a case of …

Fluorine-18 fluorodeonyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) was used to
detect local recurrence, axillary lymph node (LN) involvement and distant metastases in …

Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of 18 F-FDG uptake features in the
diagnosis of solitary pulmonary lesions. Methods One hundred thirty-nine patients with …
