[ 18 F]Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is a tracer for glucose metabolism. Its distribution is not
specific to cancer cells but is also observed in inflammatory tissue, including macrophages, …

Objective. Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is relatively rare and early diagnosis is difficult.
We investigated the utility of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT for the diagnosis of RPC and …

Objectives. While there are a few reports describing 18F-fluoro-dexoxyglucose positron
emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) findings in patients with adult-…

Objective Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in joint lesions in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) reportedly represents the degree of synovial inflammation. Most previous studies …

Objectives To investigate fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation in large joints, bursas,
and large vessels in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) using 18-FDG positron …

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in differentiating pulmonary artery sarcoma …

Background F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising
modality for detecting active lesions of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). However, determining …

Objectives. To compare the fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed
tomography (FDG-PET/CT) findings in patients with elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) …

In FDG-PET for abdominal malignancy, the liver may be assumed as an internal standard
for grading abnormal FDG uptake both in early images and in delayed images. However, …

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission
tomography (FDG-PET) for the diagnosis of fever of unknown origin (FUO), we performed …
