Use: PET scanning with fluorine-18-labelled fluorodeoxyglucose ([18 F] FDG) measures
regional glucose metabolism. In the healthy patient radioactivity is seen only in the brain and …

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term that is used for several inflammatory bowel
disorders, such as colitis ulcerosa, Crohn's disease, and infectious colitis. IBD requires a …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the appropriate 2-deoxy-2-[18 F] fluoro-d-
glucose–positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) determination in patients with …

Accurate, inexpensive, non-invasive studies in evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) would represent a significant advancement in identifying and measuring disease …

Background A pilot study was performed investigating the possibility that positron emission
tomography (PET) activity using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) with nearly simultaneous …

The Crohn's disease-activity index1 and the colitis-activity index2 are the most frequently
used scores of inflammatory bowel disease activity in clinical practice. Both scores correlate …

Purpose: To develop a methodology for the quantification of gastrointestinal (GI)
inflammation as indicated by 2-deoxy-2-(18 F) fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) uptake on positron …

Abstract Computed Tomography Enterography (CTE) and Magnetic Resonance
Enterography (MRE) are currently the dominant imaging tests used in the assessment of …

Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose visualizes hypermetabolic
disease processes by metabolic trapping. Since its inception in the late 1970s the method …

Background Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear imaging technique providing
noninvasive, three-dimensional, whole-body, quantitative images. The primary use of PET is …
