Application


  • PET Imaging in Lung Cancer: Fludeoxyglucose F18, used in PET scans, enhances the detection of occult lymph node metastases in lung cancer patients, offering significant improvements in diagnostic accuracy and patient management strategies (Guglielmo et al., 2023).

  • Advanced Imaging Techniques: Research on time-of-flight (TOF) and non-TOF PET imaging explores the validation of reconstruction algorithms with NEMA phantoms, underscoring the critical role of Fludeoxyglucose in refining diagnostic approaches in clinical settings (Kumar et al., 2022).

  • Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT Imaging: Non-oncologic incidental uptake studies using FAPI PET/CT imaging highlight Fludeoxyglucose′s versatility as a tracer that can potentially identify and characterize a variety of disease processes beyond its primary application in oncology (Hotta et al., 2023).

  • Impact on HPV-related Cancer Diagnosis: Fludeoxyglucose is instrumental in imaging studies of human papilloma virus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of this increasingly prevalent cancer, which is linked to significant morbidity and mortality rates (Touska et al., 2022).
