Many benign pulmonary lesions, especially sarcoidosis, are metabolically active and are indistinguishable from lung cancer using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) imaging.
To map functional bone marrow (BM) by 2-deoxy-2-[<sup>18</sup>F]fluoro-D-glucose ([<sup>18</sup>F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the vertebral column of lung cancer patients prior to, during, and after treatment.
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of a ketogenic diet (as an alternative protocol to fasting) on tumor glucose metabolism assessed by [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG positron emission tomography (PET) in a mouse model of lung cancer.
To explore the relationships between 18F-FDG PET/CT derived parameters such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG) of primary tumor and clinical stage in different histopathologic subtypes of lung cancer.
Thirty-four patients with non-resectable lung cancer underwent [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG and [<sup>18</sup>F]FMISO PET/CT before (pre-RT) and during radiotherapy (around 42 Gy, per-RT).
We assessed the diagnostic capacity of dynamic fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT) and dual-time-point (DTP) PET/CT to explore the optimal scan timing for nodal staging in lung cancer.
Thirty-three patients with lung cancer and ILD who underwent <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT and were treated with chemotherapy at Kumamoto University Hospital between April 2006 and March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.
Correction to: Why harmonization is needed when using FDG PET/CT as a prognosticator: demonstration with EARL-compliant SUV as an independent prognostic factor in lung cancer.
In prostate and breast cancer, WB-MRI-DWI is useful in assessing the response of bone lesions to therapy and to detecting early non-responders, while in lung cancer the method shows a similar sensitivity to 18F-FDG PET/CT in the detection of bone metastases.
In this prospective study, a total of 32 pairs of DECT and F-FDG PET/CT imaging acquired consecutively from 13 patients with primary or metastatic lung cancers receiving either radiotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy were analyzed.
Thyroid gland characteristics of patients with a clinical diagnosis of NF1 who underwent <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT imaging for the first time to distinguish benign neurofibroma from malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) at our institution (<i>n</i> = 69) were compared to PET/CT imaging of sarcoidosis (<i>n</i> = 25) and early stage lung cancer (T<sub>1</sub>N<sub>0</sub>M<sub>0</sub> tumors, <i>n</i> = 15) patients.
Some quantitative parameters, such as the use of 18F-FDG PET/CT-derived standard uptake values (SUV), have already been incorporated into current practice as it provides important information for diagnosis, staging, and treatment response of patients with lung cancer.
Positron emission tomography with 2‑deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-d-glucose integrated with computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) has an established role in the initial diagnosis and staging of lung cancer.
A 52-year-old man presented a mixed low-density lesion with high FDG uptake in hepatic segment VIII after gamma knife therapy for lung cancer, which was easily misdiagnosed as hepatic metastasis.
By utilizing <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT, researchers are able to measure dynamic changes in the glucose metabolism in genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of lung cancer following a therapeutic intervention with targeted therapies.
Role of 18-FDG PET/CT had been well established in other more prevalent malignancies such as colorectal and lung cancer; however, this is not as well defined in cholangiocarcinoma.
