Beyer T, Townsend D, Brun T, Kinahan P, Charron M, Roddy R, et al.
J Nucl Med
. 2000 Aug;
41(8):1369-79.
PMID: 10945530
Unlabelled: The availability of accurately aligned, whole-body anatomical (CT) and functional (PET) images could have a significant impact on diagnosing and staging malignant disease and on identifying and localizing metastases....

Epilepsia
. 2000 Feb;
41(2):193-200.
PMID: 10691116
Purpose: This work demonstrates the feasibility of planned ictal positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (FDG) for localization of epileptic activity in patients with frequent partial seizures of extratemporal origin....

Ann Thorac Surg
. 1999 Oct;
68(4):1133-6; discussion 1136-7.
PMID: 10543468
Background: Pilot studies suggest positron emission tomography (PET) scanning may be superior to conventional imaging in staging esophageal cancer, especially in the detection of radiographically occult distant metastases. This report...

Neuroimage
. 1999 Jan;
9(1):145-53.
PMID: 9918736
The success of the 15O-water PET technique to localize statistically significant changes in regional cerebral blood flow is dependent on factors such as the activity level injected and the magnitude...

Kinahan P, Townsend D, Beyer T, SASHIN D
Med Phys
. 1998 Nov;
25(10):2046-53.
PMID: 9800714
In this work we demonstrate the proof of principle of CT-based attenuation correction of 3D positron emission tomography (PET) data by using scans of bone and soft tissue equivalent phantoms...

J Nucl Med
. 1998 Jul;
39(7):1267-9.
PMID: 9669408
Whole-body PET imaging with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been shown to be effective in distinguishing benign and malignant pulmonary disease. Mild elevations in FDG uptake with standardized uptake values (SUVs) less...

J Nucl Med
. 1998 Jul;
39(7):1207-9.
PMID: 9669395
PET with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (FDG) is well established as an effective imaging modality for evaluating suspected brain tumor recurrence. Use of FDG PET imaging for spinal cord neoplasms has not yet...

Hypertension
. 1998 Jun;
31(6):1216-22.
PMID: 9622132
We asked whether the altered cerebral vasculature associated with essential hypertension might dampen or redirect the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) response to cognitive work. Relative rCBF was assessed with...

Surg Endosc
. 1997 Dec;
11(12):1213-5.
PMID: 9373297
This report describes our initial experience using positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in esophageal cancer patients. In two patients PET identified distant metastatic disease missed by conventional staging. Laparoscopic biopsy...

Ann Thorac Surg
. 1997 Oct;
64(3):765-9.
PMID: 9307471
Background: Conventional noninvasive staging of esophageal cancer is inaccurate. This study investigated the role of positron emission tomography (PET) in staging esophageal cancer. Methods: Patients with potentially resectable esophageal cancer...
