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.
19 Ιουν 2014 · PET imaging can determine whether the target is expressed at all disease sites and can quantify the level of target expression at each site. Current examples of PET imaging to measure target expression include estrogen receptor imaging and androgen receptor imaging; HER2 imaging; imaging angiogenesis nonspecifically by measuring blood flow and ...
PET/CT scanning offers a remarkably accurate and comprehensive way to look at patients being evaluated for a suspected cancer as well as pertaining to the followup of patients with known cancer as they progress or respond to therapy.
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.
3 Οκτ 2022 · Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning is an imaging modality primarily used in oncology. It utilizes radiotracers to measure various metabolic processes in the body. Various changes in metabolism, blood flow, and regional chemical composition can be analyzed by it.
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.
