Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose utilization of cerebral gliomas measured by [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography
G. Di Chiro,R L DeLaPaz,Rodney A. Brooks,L. Sokoloff,Paul L. Kornblith,Barry H. Smith,Nicholas J. Patronas,Conrad V. Kufta,R. M. Kessler,Gerald S. Johnston,R. G. Manning,Alfred P. Wolf +11 more
TL;DR: A correlation between rate of glycolysis and malignancy in primary cerebral tumors is found and Cerebral cortical glucose utilization was often depressed in areas adjacent to or neurally connected to the tumor site, and there was focal irregular delta wave EEG activity in these areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anteroposterior gradients in cerebral glucose use in schizophrenia and affective disorders.

TL;DR: Local cerebral uptake of deoxyglucose labeled with fluorine 18 was measured by positron emission tomography in patients with schizophrenia and patients with affective disorder, sharing a lack of diagnostic specificity with many biologic measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Work in progress: [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography in the evaluation of radiation necrosis of the brain
Nicholas J. Patronas,G. Di Chiro,Rodney A. Brooks,R L DeLaPaz,Paul L. Kornblith,Barry H. Smith,H V Rizzoli,R. M. Kessler,R. G. Manning,Michael A. Channing,Alfred P. Wolf,C M O'Connor +11 more
TL;DR: Five patients who had undergone radiation therapy for cerebral tumors and whose conditions were deteriorating were examined by means of positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose and the two cases of radiation necrosis were distinguished from the three recurrent tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral glucose utilization, as measured with positron emission tomography in 21 resting healthy men between the ages of 21 and 83 years.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the cerebral metabolic rate for glucose is not correlated with age in healthy men.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Positron emission tomography with simultaneous electroencephalographic monitoring was performed with {18F}fluorodeoxyglucose in 20 patients with complex partial seizures who had normal computed tomographic scans, finding a tendency for patients to have higher overall metabolic rates when taking less medication.
