Chest, abdomen and pelvis CT scans with contrast were also normal, as was a total body 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) CT scan. Because the patient displayed a ...

(B) Maximum-intensity projection of representative clinical oncology 18F-FDG PET scan reconstructed with 20-, 5-, and 2.5-min durations, of 59-y-old patient with lung cancer. Images show primary ...

FDG-PET imaging is not routinely employed in this type of cancer and its role in endometrial cancer is still being studied and yet to be defined. In a series of 41 whole-body PET studies conducted ...

The effective dose from a PET scan is modest and depends on the activity of the injected FDG (18 F-Fluoro deoxyglucose) and is typically 8 mSv for adults using 400 MBq and is the same whether a part ...

Imaging with equipment that combines positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) provides the special benefits of both in one procedure. It is a highly sensitive imaging technique ...
