This study was undertaken to identify the clinical value of incidentally detected lesions (IDLs)
in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) with 18F-FDG PET/CT. Methods: The reported database of …

Precise PET/CT localization of focal 18F-FDG uptake in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) may
exclude malignancy in sites of physiologic activity but may also induce false-negative …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize the clinically
significant lesions associated with incidental detection of focal uptake of 18F-FDG in the …

Background Unexpected focal colorectal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake is becoming a
common clinical dilemma with the increasing utilization of positron emission tomography …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to characterize benign lesions showing
increased 18F-FDG uptake and to determine their incidence on whole-body FDG PET/CT …

PET with 18F-FDG has been widely used in oncology, but its application for stomach
neoplasms has been limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual diagnostic …

OBJECTIVE. FDG PET is frequently used as part of the diagnostic workup in cancer patients.
Visualization of radiotracer-avid foci suggests the presence of malignant disease …

In this pilot study, we evaluated 3′-deoxy-3′-18F-fluorothymidine (FLT) PET for the
detection of gastric cancer and compared the diagnostic accuracy with that of 18F-FDG PET …

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of FDG PET/CT for the
detection of colonic lesions, especially advanced neoplasms (villous or> 10-mm adenomas …

Purpose In patients undergoing 18 F-FDG PET/CT, incidental colonic focal lesions can be
indicative of inflammatory, premalignant or malignant lesions. The maximum standardized …
