Mediastinal nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: MRI findings with PET/CT and pathologic correlation.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to correlate MRI findings of mediastinal nodes with PET/CT and pathology in non-small cell lung cancer. CONCLUSION: Malignant nodes show high FDG uptake at PET, or eccentric cortical thickening or ... Read more...

Musculoskeletal pitfalls in 18F-FDG PET/CT: pictorial review.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Thorough evaluation of the musculoskeletal system on PET/CT requires a fund of specialized knowledge and the use of musculoskeletal-oriented viewing techniques. The study of musculoskeletal pitfalls introduces many subspecialty-specific ... Read more...

Mastopathic-type fibroadenoma and ductal adenoma of the breast with false-positive fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.

26 Aug 2009 Positron emission tomography (PET) with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been shown to be an effective and accurate diagnostic technique for breast cancer. However, benign breast lesions have also been reported to show a false-positive FDG uptake ... Read more...
