[Assessment of 18FDG PET for diagnosis of XXXX ].

@entity5 @entity1 @entity788 @entity419
The paper examines the informational value of positron emission tomography (PET) using 18FDG in the diagnosis of @entity5 of the pancreas and in the estimation of the extent of a metastatic involvement. Forty-four @entity1 (26 males and 18 females whose age ranged from 28 to 60 years) with histologically verified @entity788 were examined. The study was conducted in the whole body mode on an Ecat Exact 47 positron emission tomograph following 70-90 minutes of administration of @entity419 , 370-420 MBk. To assess the findings, the differential accumulation ratio (DAR) of formation/liver was calculated. The mean DAR in @entity1 with benign and malignant @entity788 was 1.17 +/- 0.064 and 4.90 +/- 0.3 (p < 0.05). There was a false positive case in a @entity1 with an exacerbation of chronic @entity788 in the study. A relationship was observed between the level of @entity5 tissue 18FDG capture and the degree of @entity5 . PET scanning in the whole body mode estimates the extent of a tumorous process. The authors' data show that the liver was most commonly involved in a metastatic process (96.6%). Hence, 18FDG PET is a highly informative technique in the diagnosis of malignant @entity788 and in the estimation of the extent of a metastatic process and permits a differential diagnosis between benign and @entity5 .
