## 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 ## 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 ## Background. Residual structural abnormalities after definitive treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are common and pose difficult management problems. The usefulness of fluorine‐18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) to supplement conventi
