Incidental “Urinoma” in 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan
Journal Title: Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy - Year 2019, Vol 28, Issue 3
Abstract
18F-FDG PET/CT scanning was performed for the primary staging of a 47-year-old man with urothelial carcinoma. The patient underwent biopsy by ureteroscopy 15 days ago and the PET images revealed 18F-FDG accumulation in the right retroperitenal region, compatible with an “urinoma”.

The Prognostic Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT and KRAS Mutation in Colorectal Cancers
Objective: Prognostic effect of KRAS mutation and side of tumor in colorectal cancer is a highly controversial subject. Therefore, we evaluated the association between FDG uptake pattern in 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose pos...
