18 Οκτ 2016 · 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is a pivotal imaging modality for cancer imaging, assisting diagnosis, staging of patients with newly diagnosed malignancy, restaging following therapy and surveillance.
6 Νοε 2023 · Understanding FDG and its role in PET scans is key to interpreting your imaging results. When you hear terms like “FDG uptake” or “FDG activity,” they refer to the way cells absorb and use this tracer, providing insight into your metabolic health.
6 Δεκ 2016 · Here we propose a practical, TNM-oriented approach to read FCH-PET/CT, with notes on procedure technique, image display, review sequence and report structure. The purpose of this article is to provide guidance to radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and residents who are new to FCH-PET/CT, as well as to propose an alternate approach to ...
How to Read a PET Scan. Radiologists or nuclear medicine specialists interpret PET scan images. The images display varying levels of radiotracer uptake, indicating different metabolic activities. Areas with high uptake appear brighter, while areas with low uptake appear darker.
This overview of the oncologic applications of positron emission tomography (PET) focuses on the technical aspects and clinical applications of a newer technique: the combination of a PET scanner and a computed tomography (CT) scanner in a single (PET/CT) device.
PET scans may be useful in: Detecting cancer. Revealing whether your cancer has spread. Checking whether a cancer treatment is working. Finding a cancer recurrence. PET scans must be interpreted carefully because noncancerous conditions can look like cancer. Also, some cancers do not appear on PET scans.
17 Ιουν 2024 · Standardized uptake value (SUV) numbers are a component of reading PET scans and can dictate cancer treatment decisions. Seth Gammon, Ph.D., and Lesley Flynt, M.D., share how oncologists use these numbers and what they mean for cancer patients.
