Optical imaging has played a pivotal role in biology and medicine, but it faces challenges of
relatively low tissue penetration and poor signal‐to‐background ratio due to light scattering …

[18F] Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) assesses a
fundamental property of neoplasia, the Warburg effect. This molecular imaging technique …

Sites of infection and inflammation can be misleading in oncology PET/CT imaging because
these areas commonly show 18 F-FDG activity. Caution in the interpretation must be taken to …

Hypothesis The 2-[18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography is an
imaging tool for assessing clinical tumor, node, metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer …

Recent studies have focused on the development of total-body PET scanning in a variety of
fields such as clinical oncology, cardiology, personalized medicine, drug development and …

18F-FDG PET has reached widespread application in the assessment of pulmonary
nodules. This study compares the diagnostic accuracy of standard 18F-FDG PET scanning …

Imaging plays an essential role in the evaluation of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).
Computed tomography is the primary imaging modality used for the diagnosis and staging of …

Importance Positron emission tomography (PET) combined with fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)
is recommended for the noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary nodules suspicious for lung …

In this review, the fundamental principles of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission
tomography (PET) and FDG PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging have been described …

It is hoped that in the not too distant future, noninvasive imaging–based molecular
interrogation and characterization of tumors can improve our fundamental understanding of …
