Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is used to decrease the probability of developing brain
metastases in patients with small cell lung cancer and has been linked to deleterious …

Materials and Methods: A total of 17 patients who underwent PET/CT before and after PCI
were evaluated retrospectively. 18F-FDG PET images of the brain before and after PCI were …

Purpose Radiotherapy is an important treatment option for brain tumors, but the unavoidable
irradiation of normal brain tissue can lead to delayed cognitive impairment. The mechanisms …

In addition to tumors, normal tissues, such as the brain and myocardium can intake $^{18} F
$-FDG, and the amount of $^{18} F $-FDG intake by normal tissues can be altered by the …

We monitored a physiological response in a neutron-exposed normal mouse brain using
two imaging tools,[18F] fluro-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography ([18F] FDG …

Chemotherapy followed by prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is associated with increased
survival in patients with small cell lung cancer but is associated with fatigue and cognitive …

Purpose Radiotherapy is a frequently applied treatment modality for brain tumors.
Concomitant irradiation of normal brain tissue can induce various physiological responses …

1990 Objectives A typical amount of [18 F] FDG in neurological PET studies results in a
radiation dose of about 5 mSv, limiting its repeated use in healthy controls and pediatric …

Purpose/Objective (s) Brain metastases are frequent complications for lung cancer patients.
The aim of this paper was to explore whether there were alterations in brain glucose uptake …

Objective: The authors goal was to determine whether FDG uptakes in various regions of the
brain are different for early and late scanning time in positron emission tomography (PET) …
