Abstract:
This work provides evidence of previously unrecognized uptake of glucose via sodium-coupled glucose transporters (SGLTs) in specific regions of the brain. The current understanding of functional glucose utilization in brain is largely based on studies using positron emission tomography (PET) with the glucose tracer 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-d-glucose (2-FDG). However, 2-FDG is only a good substrate for facilitated-glucose transporters (GLUTs), not for SGLTs. Thus, glucose accumulation measured by 2-FDG omits the role of SGLTs. We designed and synthesized two high-affinity tracers: one, α-methyl-4

Differences between FDG and FDM with respect to model rate constants, lumped constant, and estimated metabolic rate for glucose were determined on a regional basis. Across whole brain, the transport rate constant K*1 was almost unchanged, whereas k*2, describing the transport back from tissue to plasma, was 6% higher, and the phosphorylation rate constant k*3 was 9% lower for FDM compared to FDG.

Honda sign, which is classically described in bone scans in cases of SIF, was found in FDG PET-CT in our case. This suggests SIF should be suspected when similar FDG uptake pattern is encountered and may help in early detection and management of SIF.

Abstract:
Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) is a nuclear imaging technique which is increasingly being used in infectious diseases. Because infection foci often consume more glucose than surrounding tissue, most infections can be diagnosed with PET/CT using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG), an analogue of glucose labeled with Fluorine-18. In this review, we discuss common infectious diseases in which FDG-PET/CT is currently applied including bloodstream infection of unknown origin, infective endocarditis, vascular graft infection, spondylodiscitis, and cyst inf

The magnitude of this potential over-estimation is directly related to the absolute value of CBV locally and inversely related to the CMRglc value. The kinetic est
