18F-FDG kinetics were evaluated by use of compartment and noncompartment models of
giant cell tumors. The kinetic data were compared with the gene expression data for a …

18F-FDG kinetics are primarily dependent on the expression of genes associated with
glucose transporters and hexokinases but may be modulated by other genes. The …

The contribution of 18F-FDG uptake by endothelial cells to uptake values measured by PET
in various tissues is as yet unclear. We therefore sought to characterize 18F-FDG uptake in …

18F-FDG PET can help in predicting therapeutic response and outcome in patients with
metastatic pulmonary tumors. However, no satisfactory biologic explanation exists for this …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate 18F-FDG PET studies of primary and recurrent
sarcomas for diagnosis and correlation with grading. Methods: The evaluation included 56 …

Recently, the thymidine analog 3′-deoxy-3′-18F-fluorothymidine (FLT) was suggested for
imaging tumoral proliferation. In this prospective study, we examined whether 18F-FLT …

The role of quantitative 18F-FDG PET studies for the differentiation of benign and malignant
bone lesions is still an open question. Methods: Our evaluation included 83 patients with 37 …

Background. Non-invasive visualization of tumor biological and molecular processes of
importance to diagnosis and treatment response is likely to be critical in individualized …

l-3, 4-Dihydroxy-6-18F-fluoro-phenyl-alanine (18F-FDOPA) is an amino acid analog used to
evaluate presynaptic dopaminergic neuronal function. Evaluation of tumor recurrence in …

Proliferating cells synthesize DNA during the S phase of the cell cycle. The pyrimidine
analogue thymidine is the only nucleoside that is exclusively incorporated into DNA but not …
