We present dynamic 18 F-FDG PET/CT acquisition in a 52-year-old old woman with histologically proven hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE). Metabolic rate of FDG images generated with traditional and relative Patlak analysis show the AE manifestation in the liver significantly better the static SUV images. Dynamic PET may thus have the potential to increase sensitivity in the assessment of hepatic AE manifestations. Such parametric images may offer complementary qualitative information and quantification superior to SUV images.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D004444 Echinococcosis, Hepatic Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic tapeworms of the genus ECHINOCOCCUS, such as Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Ingested Echinococcus ova burrow into the intestinal mucosa. The larval migration to the liver via the PORTAL VEIN leads to watery vesicles (HYDATID CYST).

D000072078 Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography An imaging technique that combines a POSITRON-EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) scanner and a CT X RAY scanner. This establishes a precise anatomic localization in the same session.

D049268 Positron-Emission Tomography An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.

D019788 Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 The compound is given by intravenous injection to do POSITRON-EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY for the assessment of cerebral and myocardial glucose metabolism in various physiological or pathological states including stroke and myocardial ischemia. It is also employed for the detection of malignant tumors including those of the brain, liver, and thyroid gland.
