ConclusionThe early-phase [18F]FP-CIT PET can be utilized for spatial normalization of delayed PET image when the MRI image is unavailable and presents better performance than the delayed template-based method in quantitation of putaminal binding ratio.

Contained Rupture of a Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Mimicking a Malignant Tumor: a Case Report
AbstractAn 81-year-old man underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to evaluate a mediastinal mass, which was discovered during the investigation for hemoptysis. The periphery of the mass abutting the aortic arch demonstrated heterogeneously increased FDG uptake, whereas most of the central portion of the mass was photopenic. The mass turned out to be an atheromatous organizing hematoma associated with contained aortic rupture. (Source: Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)

Brain Glymphatic/Lymphatic Imaging by MRI and PET
AbstractSince glymphatic was proposed and meningeal lymphatic was discovered, MRI andeven PET were introduced to investigate brain parenchymal interstitial fluid (ISF),cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and lymphatic outflow in rodents and humans. Previousfindings by ex vivo fluorescent microscopic, and in vivo two-photon imaging in rodentswere reproduced using intrathecal contrast (gadobutrol and the similar)-enhanced MRIin rodents and further in humans. On dynamic MRI of meningeal lymphatics, in contrastto rodents, humans use mainly dorsal meningeal lymphatic pathways of ISF-CSFlymphaticefflux. In mice, ISF-CSF exchange was exam...

Comparison of Image Quality and Semi-quantitative Measurements with Digital PET/CT and Standard PET/CT from Different Vendors
ConclusionsThe dPET provides improved image quality and lesion detectability than the sPET. The semi-quantitative values of the two PET/CT systems of different vendors are comparable. This pilot study will be an important basis for possible interchangeable use of either system in clinical practice. (Source: Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)

The Role of 18 F-FDG PET/CT for Evaluation of Cervical Metastatic Lymph Nodes in a Patient with Metallic Artifacts from Dental Prosthesis: a Case Report
AbstractCervical metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma from an unknown primary site occurs in approximately 2 –4% of head and neck tumor cases. Without identification of the primary site, proper management cannot be achieved, resulting in significant morbidity and a lower cure rate. For the primary site assessment, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using the radiotracer18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is the imaging modality of choice and has been shown to be superior to CT alone. Here, we report a case of cervical metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma in an 82-year-old man.18F-FDG PET/CT revealed a t...

18 F-FDG PET/CT Imaging of Peritoneal Fibrosis Mimicking Persistent Metastatic Ovarian Carcinoma
AbstractA 65-year-old woman was addressed for clinical and biological suspicion of ovarian cancer relapse.18F-FDG PET/CT revealed massive peritoneal carcinomatosis. Post-chemotherapy PET/CT showed complete metabolic response in initial localizations albeit three new18F-FDG uptakes appeared in the mesentery and in the retro-hepatic space. Close follow-up (including PET/CT scan) and surgical examination of the abdominal cavity confirmed the absence of malignancy and the benign nature of these lesions, which appeared to be peritoneal fibrosis mimicking persistent carcinomatosis.

Real Time F-18 FDG PET-CT-Guided Metabolic Biopsy Targeting Differential FDG Avidity in a Pulmonary Blastoma
AbstractPulmonary blastoma (PB) is a rare thoracic malignancy and preoperative diagnosis is challenging. A young man presented with dyspnea and chest pain for 3 –4 months and chest-computed tomography (CT) revealed large mass in the left lung upper lobe and pleural effusion. Repeated CT-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology from the lesion and pleural fluid aspiration was negative for malignancy. F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-comp uted tomography (FDG PET-CT) revealed heterogeneous tracer avidity in left lung mass with areas of necrosis. Real-time PET-CT-guided biopsy from metabolically active co...
