Journal ArticleDOI
Association between habitual physical activity and brown adipose tissue activity in individuals undergoing PET-CT scan
Petros C. Dinas,Alexandra Nikaki,Athanasios Z. Jamurtas,V. Prassopoulos,Roxani Efthymiadou,Yiannis Koutedakis,Yiannis Koutedakis,Panagiotis Georgoulias,Andreas D. Flouris +8 more
TL;DR: Investigating whether habitual physical activity is linked with BAT activity and mass in humans, in a group of patients undergoing 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning finds augmented brown adipose tissue mass and activity lead to higher basic metabolic rate which is beneficial against obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the Performance of 18F-Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FLT-PET/CT) in Metastatic Brain Lesions.
Alexandra Nikaki,Vassilios Papadopoulos,Varvara Valotassiou,Roxani Efthymiadou,George Angelidis,Ioannis Tsougos,V. Prassopoulos,Panagiotis Georgoulias +7 more
TL;DR: 18F-FLT-PET/CT can detect active metastatic brain lesions and may be used as a complementary tool and shows the highest sensitivity and accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypermetabolic Calcified Lymph Nodes on 18Fludeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in a Case of Treated Ovarian Cancer Recurrence: Residual Disease or Benign Formation?
Alexandra Nikaki,Athanasios Alexopoulos,Fani Vlachou,Vasiliki Filippi,Ioannis Andreou,Vasiliki Rapti,Konstantinos Gogos,K. Dalianis,Roxani Efthymiadou,V. Prassopoulos +9 more
TL;DR: Both CT corrected and uncorrected PET images showed hypermetabolism in the massively calcified lymph nodes in the neck, mediastinum, axilla and abdomen, indicative of active residual disease.
Book ChapterDOI
PET/CT in Hodgkin Lymphoma
Theodoros P. Vassilakopoulos,Phoivi Rondogianni,Sofia Chatziioannou,Effimia Vrakidou,Vasileios I. Telonis,Roxani Efthymiadou,John A. Andreou,V. Prassopoulos +7 more
TL;DR: Routine follow-up with PET/CT is not recommended in patients who have achieved a PET-negative status after first-line chemotherapy, due to the high false-positive rate.
Book ChapterDOI
General Principles of PET/CT Imaging
TL;DR: Positron emission tomography constitutes a relatively novel imaging procedure useful mainly in oncology, but also in cardiology and neurology, and in combination with computed tomography provides both functional and morphological information in one single device.
