FDG-PET/CT Limited to the Thorax and Upper Abdomen for Staging and Management of Lung Cancer.
(2016-01)
Purpose This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of [F-18]-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) of the chest/upper abdomen compared to the generally performed scan from head ...
The Predictive Value of Early In-Treatment <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT Response to Chemotherapy in Combination with Bevacizumab in Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
(2017-08)
18 F-FDG PET/CT is potentially applicable to predict response to chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: In 25 patients with advanced nonsquamous ...
A comparison of the diagnostic value of MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in suspected spondylodiscitis.
(2017-02)
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing ...
EANM/EARL FDG-PET/CT accreditation - summary results from the first 200 accredited imaging systems.
(2018-03)
PURPOSE:From 2010 until July 2016, the EANM Research Ltd. (EARL) FDG-PET/CT accreditation program has collected over 2500 phantom datasets from approximately 200 systems and 150 imaging sites worldwide. The objective of ...
Fever of Unknown Origin: the Value of FDG-PET/CT.
(2018-03)
Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is commonly defined as fever higher than 38.3°C on several occasions during at least 3 weeks with uncertain diagnosis after a number of obligatory investigations. The differential diagnosis ...
<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT Optimizes Treatment in <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i> Bacteremia and Is Associated with Reduced Mortality.
(2017-09)
Metastatic infection is an important complication of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). Early diagnosis of metastatic infection is crucial, because specific treatment is required. However, metastatic infection can be ...
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography as a diagnostic tool in native valve endocarditis.
(2018-08)
OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to investigate the value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT) in diagnosing native valve endocarditis (NVE). PATIENTS AND ...
Performance of automatic image segmentation algorithms for calculating total lesion glycolysis for early response monitoring in non-small cell lung cancer patients during concomitant chemoradiotherapy.
(2016-06)
Background and purpose This study evaluated the use of total lesion glycolysis (TLG) determined by different automatic segmentation algorithms, for early response monitoring in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients ...
In Vivo Characterization of 4 68Ga-Labeled Multimeric RGD Peptides to Image αvβ3 Integrin Expression in 2 Human Tumor Xenograft Mouse Models.
(2018-08)
αvβ3 integrins play an important role in angiogenesis and cell migration in cancer and are highly expressed on the activated endothelial cells of newly formed blood vessels. Here, we compare the targeting characteristics ...
Tumor to cervical spinal cord standardized uptake ratio (SUR) improves the reproducibility of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET based tumor segmentation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in a multicenter setting.
(2019-01)
Background In quantitative FDG-PET data analysis, normalization of the standardized uptake value (SUV) with an internal image-derived standard improves its reproducibility. In this study, the cervical spinal cord is proposed ...
