Primary meningeal melanomatosis is a rare, aggressive variant of primary malignant melanoma of the central nervous system, which arises from melanocytes within the leptomeninges and carries a poor prognosis. We report a case of primary meningeal melanomatosis in a 17-year-old man, which was diagnosed with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) PET/CT, and post hoc F-18 FDG PET/MRI fusion images. Whole-body F-18 FDG PET/CT was helpful in ruling out the extracranial origin of melanoma lesions, and in assessing the therapeutic response. Post hoc PET/MRI fusion images facilitated the correlation between PET and MRI images and demonstrated the hypermetabolic lesions more accurately than the unenhanced PET/CT images. Whole body F-18 FDG PET/CT and post hoc PET/MRI images might help clinicians determine the best therapeutic strategy for patients with primary meningeal melanomatosis. 相似文献

Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic capability of simultaneous 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/MRI compared to 18F-FDG PET/CT as well as their single components in head and neck cancer patients.Methods
In a prospective study 17 patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging or follow-up and an additional 18F-FDG PET/MRI scan with whole-body imaging and dedicated examination of the neck. MRI, CT and PET images as well as PET/MRI and PET/CT examinations were evaluated independently and in a blinded fashion by two reader groups. Results were compared with the reference standard (final diagnosis determined in consensus using all available data including histology and follow-up). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated.Results
A total of 23 malignant tumours were found with the reference standard. PET/CT showed a sensitivity of 82.7 %, a specificity of 87.3 %, a PPV of 73.2 % and a NPV of 92.4 %. Corresponding values for PET/MRI were 80.5, 88.2, 75.6 and 92.5 %. No statistically significant difference in diagnostic capability could be found between PET/CT and PET/MRI. Evaluation of the PET part from PET/CT revealed highest sensitivity of 95.7 %, and MRI showed best specificity of 96.4 %. There was a high inter-rater agreement in all modalities (Cohen’s kappa 0.61–0.82).Conclusion
PET/MRI of patients with head and neck cancer yielded good diagnostic capability, similar to PET/CT. Further studies on larger cohorts to prove these first results seem justified. 相似文献3.

The aims of this study were to investigate the detection of cervical lymph node metastases of head and neck cancer by positron
emission tomographic (PET) imaging with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and to perform a prospective comparison with
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), sonographic and histopathological findings. Sixty patients with
histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma were studied by PET imaging before surgery. Preoperative endoscopy (including
biopsy), CT, MRI and sonography of the cervical region were performed in all patients within 2 weeks preceding 18F-FDG whole-body PET. FDG PET images were analysed visually and quantitatively for objective assessment of regional tracer
uptake. Histopathology of the resected neck specimens revealed a total of 1284 lymph nodes, 117 of which showed metastatic
involvement. Based on histopathological findings, FDG PET correctly identified lymph node metastases with a sensitivity of
90% and a specificity of 94% (P<10–6). CT and MRI visualized histologically proven lymph node metastases with a sensitivity of 82% (specificity 85%) and 80% (specificity
79%), respectively (P<10–6). Sonography revealed a sensitivity of 72% (P<10–6). The comparison of 18F-FDG PET with conventional imaging modalities demonstrated statistically significant correlations (PET vs CT, P = 0.017; PET vs MRI, P = 0.012; PET vs sonography, P = 0.0001). Quantitative analysis of FDG uptake in lymph node metastases using body weight-based standardized uptake values
(SUVBW) showed no significant correlation between FDG uptake (3.7±2.0) and histological grading of tumour-involved lymph nodes (P = 0.9). Interestingly, benign lymph nodes had increased FDG uptake as a result of inflammatory reactions (SUVBW-range: 2–15.8). This prospective, histopathologically controlled study confirms FDG PET as the procedure with the highest
sensitivity and specificity for detecting lymph node metastases of head and neck cancer and has become a routine method in
our University Medical Center. Furthermore, the optimal diagnostic modality may be a fusion image showing the increased metabolism
of the tumour and the anatomical localization.

Intra-osseous haemangioma is a rare, benign neoplasm that usually involves the vertebrae and craniofacial bones. Furthermore, its occurrence in the long bones is extremely rare. We report the findings of fluorine-18-fludeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and MRI in a patient with intra-osseous haemangioma in the proximal tibia, who was initially misdiagnosed as having a malignancy based on (18)F-FDG PET/CT. (18)F-FDG PET/CT showed a well-marginated osteolytic lesion with abnormal FDG uptake. The mass demonstrated low signal intensity on T(1) weighted MRI. On T(2) weighted images, the lesion appeared as a cluster of high signal intensity lobules and showed strong enhancement on contrast-enhanced T(1) weighted images. Surgical curettage was performed and histopathological examination of the excised tissue confirmed a cavernous haemangioma. 相似文献

Although primary cardiac tumours are extremely uncommon, secondary tumours or cardiac metastasis are not. We present a 68-year-old gentleman with squamous cell carcinoma of the right lower lobe with bony metastasis to the right clavicle who was treated with radiotherapy to the lung and clavicle as well as combination immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy (Carboplatin/Paclitaxel). Despite completing the above treatment regime, 18F-FDG PET/CT scan showed progression with two new sites of metastasis including a focus in the lateral wall of the right ventricle which correlate to a soft tissue density mass on CT as well as a FDG avid mass in the left masseter. Identification of cardiac lesions with 18F-FDG PET/CT maybe challenging with routine preparation due high physiological FDG uptake in the myocardium and significant variability, nevertheless, focal FDG uptake in the heart should be carefully assessed for the possibility of cardiac metastasis. 相似文献

ObjectiveWe retrospectively investigate the prevalence of gynecomastia as false-positive 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsAmong the 127 male HCC patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, the 18FDG uptakes at the bilateral breasts in 9 patients with gynecomastia were recorded as standard uptake value (SUVmax) and the visual interpretation in both early and delayed images.ResultsThe mean early SUVmax was 1.58/1.57 (right/left breast) in nine gynecomastia patients. The three patients with early visual score of 3 had higher early SUVmaxs.ConclusionGynecomastia is a possible cause of false-positive uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT images. 相似文献

Integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18F-FDG) has emerged as a powerful tool for the combined metabolic and anatomic evaluation of many cancers. In urological oncology, however, the use of 18F-FDG has been limited by a generally low tumor uptake, and physiological excretion of FDG through the urinary system. 18F-FDG PET/CT is useful when applied to specific indications in selected patients with urological malignancy. New radiotracers and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) are expected to further improve the performance of PET in uro-oncology. 相似文献

Although 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a sensitive modality for detecting a malignant lesion, increased 18F-FDG uptake is also seen in infected or inflammatory processes. Here, we report the case of a breast cancer patient with concomitant tuberculous axillary lymphadenitis that showed increased 18F-FDG uptake. A 39-year-old woman underwent preoperative 18F-FDG PET/computed tomography (CT) as a part of the work-up for right breast cancer. 18F-FDG PET/CT images showed a malignant lesion in the right breast with moderate 18F-FDG uptake, and multiple enlarged right axillary lymph nodes with intense 18F-FDG uptake. Subsequently, the patient underwent right mastectomy and right axillary lymph node dissection. Histopathological examination confirmed breast cancer and tuberculous lymphadenitis, and the patient was treated concomitantly with anti-tuberculous therapy. 相似文献

Objective
Endometrial cancer is the most frequent cancer occurring in the female genital tract in the Western countries. Because surgical staging is currently the standard, noninvasive techniques that accurately identify lymph node (LN) metastases would be beneficial by reducing costs and complications. The purpose of our study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting LN metastases in the preoperative staging of endometrial cancer.Methods
Two hundred eighty-seven consecutive patients with endometrial cancer underwent preoperative PET/CT and MRI for staging. The malignancy criteria for LNs were a short diameter of 1 cm or more by MRI and focally increased 18F-FDG uptake by PET/CT. After evaluating PET/CT and MRI separately, morphologic and functional image findings were compared with the histological findings regarding LN metastasis for all patients. PET/CT and MRI images were classified on the basis of histological findings as true-positive, true-negative, false-positive, or false-negative. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy were calculated.Results
Histologic examination revealed LN metastases in 51 patients (17.8 %). The maximal standardized uptake values (SUVmax) of the primary lesions by PET/CT ranged from 1.4 to 37.7, with a mean value of 9.3, whereas those of the metastatic LNs ranged from 2.0 to 22.5 with a mean of 7.3. On a per-patient basis, node staging resulted in sensitivities of 70.0 % with 18F-FDG PET/CT and 34.0 % with MRI, and specificities of 95.4 % with PET/CT and 95.0 % with MRI. The NPV of PET/CT was 94.3 %, and that of MRI was 87.2 %. On a lesion base analysis, sensitivity of PET/CT was 79.4 % while that of MRI was 51.6 %. In detecting distant metastasis, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of PET/CT were 92.9, 98.9, 98.6, 81.3, and 99.6 %, respectively.Conclusion
Diagnostic performance of FDG PET/CT was better than MRI for detecting metastatic lymph nodes in patients with endometrial cancer both by patient basis and lesion basis analyses. Due to high NPV, FDG PET-CT could aid in selecting candidates for lymphadenectomy.10.

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate an imaging approach using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy (99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy), gallium-67 scintigraphy (67Ga scintigraphy) and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET).
Material and Methods We reviewed retrospectively 59 patients with parotid masses. CT, MRI,67Ga scintigraphy,99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy, and18F-FDG PET were performed.
Results All of the benign tumors had smooth margins on CT and MRI. Patients with inflammatory lesions and malignant lesions showed
well-defined margins or ill-defined margins. All Warthin's tumors showed high technetium accumulation. Many of malignant tumors
showed high FDG accumulation. Both pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin's tumors showed high accumulation in some cases on18F-FDG PET. Among 15 patients with pleomorphic adenoma, 14 patients showed marked hyperintensity relative to CSF on T2-weighted
images and partial enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. Combination of several imaging modarity offered usefulness
of differential diagnosis for parotid masses.
Conclusion An efficient combination of imaging methods may be helpul for achieve the correct diagnosis. 相似文献

A 20-year-old woman, who presented with a several-week history of abdominal pain, was referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) after an ultrasound showed complex cystic masses arising from both ovaries. The MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging characteristics of the ovarian masses were strongly suspicious for malignancy, and the masses were surgically removed. Histopathological evaluation revealed a bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess, with no evidence of malignancy. This case highlights a potentially serious pitfall in the evaluation of suspicious pelvic masses by 18F-FDG PET/CT, whereby a complex bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess may mimic the PET/CT imaging characteristics of an ovarian or pelvic malignancy. 相似文献

Increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake of brown fat on 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) originating from physiological activation is a common incidental finding and is usually located in the neck, shoulder, and supraclavicular areas. We present a case of an incidental pheochromocytoma showing diffusely increased 18F-FDG uptake in bilateral perirenal fat tissue as well as supraclavicular and paravertebral fat tissue on 18F-FDG PET/CT. The patient had no clinical symptoms except hypertension, and a pheochromocytoma was confirmed in a postsurgical specimen. A pheochromocytoma should be considered a cause in cases of increased 18F-FDG uptake of perirenal brown fat. 相似文献

Purpose
The study evaluated the role of preoperative 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in the prediction of recurrent gastric cancer after curative surgical resection.Methods
A total of 271 patients with gastric cancer who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and subsequent curative surgical resection were enrolled. All patients underwent follow-up for cancer recurrence with a mean duration of 24?±?12?months. 18F-FDG PET/CT images were visually assessed and, in patients with positive 18F-FDG cancer uptake, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of cancer lesions was measured. 18F-FDG PET/CT findings were tested as prognostic factors for cancer recurrence and compared with conventional prognostic factors. Furthermore, 18F-FDG PET/CT findings were assessed as prognostic factors according to histopathological subtypes.Results
Of 271 patients, 47 (17?%) had a recurrent event. Positive 18F-FDG cancer uptake was shown in 149 patients (55?%). Tumour size, depth of invasion, presence of lymph node metastasis, positive 18F-FDG uptake and SUVmax were significantly associated with tumour recurrence in univariate analysis, while only depth of invasion, positive 18F-FDG uptake and SUVmax had significance in multivariate analysis. The 24-month recurrence-free survival rate was significantly higher in patients with negative 18F-FDG uptake (95?%) than in those with positive 18F-FDG uptake (74?%; p?0.0001). In subgroup analysis, 18F-FDG uptake was a significant prognostic factor in patients with tubular adenocarcinoma (p?=?0.003) or poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (p?=?0.0001). However, only marginal significance was shown in patients with signet-ring cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma (p?=?0.05).Conclusion
18F-FDG uptake of gastric cancer is an independent and significant prognostic factor for tumour recurrence. 18F-FDG PET/CT could provide effective information on the prognosis after surgical resection of gastric cancer, especially in tubular adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. 相似文献15.

Background
Metastatic adrenal disease can occur in a wide diversity of malignancies. Distinguishing benign from metastatic adrenal masses in oncologic patients is vital.Objective
To appraise the 18F-FDG PET/CT performance for distinguishing benign from metastatic adrenal masses.Material and methods
In the current prospective study, 21 patients with proven extra-adrenal primary malignancy, having adrenal masses?≥10?mm on the axial CT images of their PET/CT examinations, were enrolled. Positive PET findings for malignancy were considered if the mass showed FDG uptake equivalent to or more prominent than the FDG liver uptake. Alternatively, negative PET findings for malignancy were considered if the mass showed FDG uptake not as much of the FDG liver uptake. Afterward, the obtained results were correlated with serial imaging follow-up or histopathological diagnosis by surgery or percutaneous biopsy as the diagnostic standard of reference.Results
An overall number of 24 adrenal masses was diagnosed. Positive PET/CT results were found in 14 adrenal masses. All were finally considered to be metastases by serial imaging follow-up (n?=?8) and histopathological analysis by surgery (n?=?1) and percutaneous biopsy (n?=?5). Accordingly, no false positive result was obtained. Negative PET/CT results were observed in 10 adrenal masses, 9 of them were finally confirmed to be benign by serial imaging follow-up. The remaining mass was finally confirmed to be metastasis by percutaneous biopsy and hence, it represented the false negative result. 93% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 96% accuracy for identifying adrenal metastases were obtained.Conclusion
18F-FDG PET/CT is a precise, non invasive modality for distinguishing benign from metastatic adrenal masses in oncologic patients. 相似文献16.

Purpose
PET with 18F-FDG has the potential to assess vascular macrophage metabolism. 18F-FDG is most often used in combination with contrast-enhanced CT to localize increased metabolism to specific arterial lesions. Novel 18F-FDG PET/MRI hybrid imaging shows high potential for the combined evaluation of atherosclerotic plaques, due to the superior morphological conspicuity of plaque lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/MRI uptake quantification compared to PET/CT as a reference standard in patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques.Methods
The study group comprised 34 consecutive oncological patients with carotid plaques who underwent both PET/CT and PET/MRI with 18F-FDG on the same day. The presence of atherosclerotic plaques was confirmed by 3 T MRI scans. Maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) for carotid plaque lesions and the average SUV of the blood pool within the adjacent internal jugular vein were determined and target-to-blood ratios (TBRs, plaque to blood pool) were calculated.Results
Atherosclerotic lesions with maximum colocalized focal FDG uptake were assessed in each patient. SUVmax values of carotid plaque lesions were significantly lower on PET/MRI than on PET/CT (2.3?±?0.6 vs. 3.1?±?0.6; P?<?0.01), but were significantly correlated between PET/CT and PET/MRI (Spearman’s r?=?0.67, P?<?0.01). In contrast, TBRmax values of plaque lesions were similar on PET/MRI and on PET/CT (2.2?±?0.3 vs. 2.2?±?0.3; P?=?0.4), and again were significantly correlated between PET/MRI and PET/CT (Spearman’s r?=?0.73, P?<?0.01). Considering the increasing trend in SUVmax and TBRmax values from early to delayed imaging time-points on PET/CT and PET/MRI, respectively, with continuous clearance of radioactivity from the blood, a slight underestimation of TBRmax values may also be expected with PET/MRI compared with PET/CT.Conclusion
SUVmax and TBRmax values are widely accepted reference parameters for estimation of the radioactivity of atherosclerotic plaques on PET/CT. However, due to a systematic underestimation of SUVmax and TBRmax with PET/MRI, the optimal cut-off values indicating the presence of inflamed plaque tissue need to be newly defined for PET/MRI.17.

We herein reviewed 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) findings in a number of musculoskeletal lesions including malignant tumors, benign tumors, and tumor-like lesions with correlations to other radiographic imaging modalities, and described the diversity of the 18F-FDG PET/CT findings of this entity. Malignant primary musculoskeletal tumors are typically 18F-FDG avid, whereas low-grade malignant tumors show mild uptake. Benign musculoskeletal tumors generally show a faint uptake of 18F-FDG, and tumor-like conditions also display various uptake patterns of 18F-FDG. Although musculoskeletal tumors show various uptakes of 18F-FDG on PET/CT, its addition to morphological imaging modalities such as CT and MRI is useful for the characterization and differentiation of musculoskeletal lesions. 相似文献

A 63-year-old lady with a background of ischemic heart disease was referred for 18F-FDG PET/CT for multiple lytic bone lesions which showed disseminated FDG avid lesions in the skeleton, nodal stations as well as spleen simulating advanced malignancy such as diffuse lymphomatous disease. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis was pathologically confirmed with bone biopsy. Following treatment, repeat PET/CT revealed significant regression of FDG avid lesions, however prominent uptake in the lateral ventricular wall was suspicious for active cardiac sarcoidosis, particularly given recurrent chest pain. This was confirmed on cardiac MRI and correlation with PET enabled discrimination between ischemic and non-ischemic fibrosis. 相似文献

A 62 years old woman 6 months after left total hip prosthesis referred to our institution for persistent pain and warm, stiff, and swollen joint. 18F-FDG CT/PET Images showed an intense focal uptake corresponding to the external margin of inter-trochanteric region of prosthesis and inside the stem inferiorly, but common decision was to reconstruct PET images without attenuation correction and now showed a complete and unexpected disappearance of focal and pathological FDG uptake. This case shows the potential propagation of CT artifacts into PET emission data close to metal implants and should be taken in account together to SUV values. 相似文献
