## BACKGROUND. Positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-deoxy-2-fluoro[ 18 F]-Dglucose (FDG) can provide quantitative information about tumor glucose metabolism. The prognostic value of this technique was evaluated for breast carcinoma patients. ## METHODS. FDG PET was performed on 70 patients w

## BACKGROUND. Patients who present with squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to cervical lymph nodes and no clinically apparent primary site present a therapeutic dilemma. Positron emission tomography imaging with 2-[F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose (FDG-PET) has been shown to be useful for the examina
## Objective: The 2-[(18)f]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron emission tomography (fdg-pet) technique provides information on uptake and metabolism of glucose in various tissues. compared with resting cells, activated lymphocytes take up radioactively labeled glucose analog at a higher rate, which
We have investigated the ability of dopamine to compete with the binding of the high affinity dopamine D 2 receptor positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand, 18 F-fallypride. In vitro dissociation of 18 F-fallypride with dopamine in rat striatal homogenates exhibited a dissociation rate, k off
