Journal ArticleDOI

Glucose utilization of cerebral gliomas measured by [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography

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

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

[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in refractory complex partial seizures.

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.
