Conclusion: These results indicate that the observed tumor tissue uptake of 18FDG,
corrected for blood 18FDGactivity and glucose concentration, can reliably predict glucose …

PET is a tomographic scintigraphic technique in which a computer-generated image of local
radioactive tracer distribution in tissues is produced through the detection of annihilation …

The rate constants K* 1and k* 2refer to forward and reverse capillary trans port of FDG, while
k* 3 and k* 4 refer to phosphorylation of FDG and de phosphorylation of FDG-6-P04, re …

A study was performed with the aim of investigating some of the methodological factors
affecting the ability of quantitative 2-[18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission …

The enhanced rate of glucose utilization by tumor cells has been exploited in the imaging of
tumors using the radiolabelled glucose analogue fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)[1], which …

INTRODUCTION: Chronically altered glucose metabolism interferes with 18F-FDG uptake in
malignant tissue and healthy organs and may therefore lower tumor detection in 18F-FDG …

Abstract [18 F] Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in noncerebral tumors is commonly
reported as tissue radioactivity concentration normalized to injected dose and body weight …

The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized insulin protocol in
reducing glycemia, review 18F-FDG biodistribution with such a protocol, and assess its …

When plateau concentrations of FDG are achieved in tissues with low con centration of
glucose-6-phosphatase, images oftotal †8Fradioactivity reflect relative rates of glycolysis …

PET has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool for the evaluation of cancer patients.
Currently, most of these studies are performed with the glucose analog 18F-FDG, which has …
