Journal ArticleDOI
FDG-PET is an effective imaging modality to detect and quantify age-related atherosclerosis in large arteries.
Gonca Bural,Drew A. Torigian,Wichana Chamroonrat,Mohamed Houseni,Wengen Chen,Sandip Basu,Rakesh Kumar,Abass Alavi +7 more
TL;DR: Prevalence and intensity of FDG uptake in large arteries generally increases with aging, and increasedFDG uptake likely represents the presence of active inflammatory process of atherosclerotic plaque.
Journal ArticleDOI
FDG PET/CT in carcinoma of unknown primary
TL;DR: The use, diagnostic performance, and utility of FDG PET/CT in CUP is reviewed and challenges and future considerations in the diagnostic management of CUP are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of FDG PET on the preoperative staging of newly diagnosed breast cancer
TL;DR: FDG PET was able to identify extra-axillary regional nodal and distant lesions in newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer; FDG PET may alter the staging and management of therapy in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new dimension of FDG-PET interpretation: assessment of tumor biology.
TL;DR: Although a negative FDG-PET scan in a patient with a cancer that has a size above the spatial resolution of PET may be interpreted as false-negative in terms of tumor detectability, it should in fact be regarded as true-negative from the view-point of tumor biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
FDG-PET for diagnosing infection in hip and knee prostheses: prospective study in 221 prostheses and subgroup comparison with combined 111In-labeled leukocyte/99mTc- sulfur colloid bone marrow imaging in 88 prostheses
Sandip Basu,Thomas C. Kwee,Babak Saboury,Jonathan P. Garino,Charles L. Nelson,Hongming Zhuang,Molly Parsons,Wengen Chen,Rakesh Kumar,Ali Salavati,Thomas Werner,Abass Alavi +11 more
TL;DR: Considering the complexity and costs of WBC/BM imaging and related safety issues associated with this preparation, FDG PET seems to be an appropriate alternative for assessing these patients.
