Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Molecular imaging has been crucial in lymphoma assessment for decades.
  • Early methods like Gallium-67 citrate imaging were limited.
  • ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has emerged as a superior tool.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the applications of FDG-PET/CT in lymphoma diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
  • To highlight the advantages and limitations of FDG-PET/CT.
  • To discuss standardization efforts and future molecular probes for lymphoma imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on molecular imaging in lymphoma.
  • Focus on the utility of FDG-PET and FDG-PET/CT.
  • Comparison with conventional imaging modalities like CT and MRI.

Main Results:

  • FDG-PET/CT is highly accurate for staging, restaging, and response assessment in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).
  • It excels at differentiating viable tumor from post-treatment fibrosis/necrosis, surpassing CT and MRI.
  • FDG-PET/CT is integral to current lymphoma response criteria.

Conclusions:

  • FDG-PET/CT is the noninvasive imaging modality of choice for lymphoma response assessment.
  • Standardization of FDG-PET/CT use is ongoing.
  • Further research into novel molecular probes for lymphoma imaging is warranted.
