In a direct comparison, FDG-PET proved superior to MRI with arterial spin labelling (ASL) for diagnosing and differentiating various forms of dementia; however, there remains a need for the latter ...
Gastric cancers accounted for 11,180 deaths in the U.S. alone in 2021, and almost two-thirds are diagnosed at an advanced stage. A recent study evaluated the efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT to determine ...
FDG PET imaging measures glucose uptake in the brain. It has long served as a proxy for neuronal health—but is it? In the October 13 Science Translational Medicine, researchers led by Christian Haass ...
Baseline cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) independently predict outcome in metastatic chemorefractory colorectal cancer (mCRC). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2017 ...
18 F-FDG-PET/CT (F-FDG) appears to offer value for staging of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), according to the results of a recent small, single-institution study. 1 F-FDG reliably detected ...
Prognostic significance of S100A4 expression in biliary tract cancers. Background: The role of F-18 FDG-PET/CT in gastric cancer is limited because of its low sensitivity. The sensitivity of F-18 ...
“FDG-PET is generally considered as a useful metabolic evaluation tool, while it is also thought to have an emerging role for assessment of systemic therapy response.” “Results for malignant pleural ...
Correctly distinguishing between related neurodegenerative diseases remains challenging for clinicians, because reliable markers do not yet exist for many disorders. In the July 22 Neurology, ...
FDG-PET/CT could be very helpful in calculating the risk of developing interval metastasis during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for oesophageal cancer, and it could lead to other more appropriate ...
