TL;DR
Dual-tracer PET/MR combined with quantitative analysis may improve subtype-specific presurgical localization in refractory MTLE, whereas FDG-PET facilitated differentiation of pathological subtypes.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Standard static 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET (sPET) frequently registers normal metabolism in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), limiting its utility for identifying the epileptogenic zone (EZ) for epilepsy surgery. Dynamic FDG-PET (dPET), which quantifies the rate of glucose uptake...
Contrast-enhanced MRI reflects blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption rather than tumor biological activity, whereas 18 F-fluciclovine ( 18 F-FACBC) PET reflects amino acid metabolism independent of BBB integrity. The authors compared regional 18 F-FACBC uptake with histopathological and molecular findings in...
To investigate the correlation of 18 F-FDG PET/CT metabolic patterns and clinical parameters with disease severity in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE). We retrospectively analyzed 35 AE patients who underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between...
BACKGROUND Understanding the heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential to guide patient care, prognosis, and treatment. OBJECTIVE We used 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), 18F-N-(3-fluoropropyl)-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane (18F-FP-CIT) PET, and Subtype...
Highlights What are the main findings? The %ΔSUVmax and the end-of-treatment Deauville score predicted survival in pediatric Burkitt lymphoma. Baseline SUVmax, MTV, and TLG showed only modest, estimated prognostic value in this cohort. What are the implications of the main findings? Dynamic metabolic response may be a...
Objectives Thyroglobulin-elevated negative iodine scintigraphy (TENIS) syndrome presents a significant diagnostic challenge in the management of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Although 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is the established imaging modality f...
