## Background: [f-18]fluorodeoxyglucose (fdg)-positron emission tomography (pet) can measure the metabolic activity of tissues; fdg-pet may be able to predict response to chemotherapy by identifying changes in tumor metabolism. measurement of response to treatment may help improve survival in the m

## Abstract ## Background. Conventional imaging is limited in identifying persistent disease after organ‐preserving therapy for patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We studied the accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) with ^18^F‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glu
## Abstract ## Objective Erdheim‐Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non–Langerhans' cell histiocytosis. The aim of this study was to assess the value of whole‐body scanning with ^18^F‐fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) in a large cohort of ECD patients from a single cen
## Abstract ## Purpose To assess the efficacy of ^1^H MR spectroscopy (MRS) to evaluate early responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, as compared to that of the standardized uptake value (SUV) in ^18^F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). ## Materi
