Adrenal metastasis from prostate cancer is a rare phenomenon that is infrequently diagnosed incidentally during imaging. We report the first case of 65-year old patient diagnosed as poorly differentiated prostate adenocarcinoma presenting with adrenal metastases imaged using F- 18 FDG PET/CT.</p>2018-03-30T00:00:00-04:00Copyright (c) https://cosmosscholars.com/phms/index.php/ijnmr/article/view/871Technetium-99m Verses Fluorine-182018-05-06T08:42:19-04:00A. Mushtaqamushtaq1@hotmail.com<p class="04-abstract"><strong>Abstract:</strong> A comparison of Technetium-99m and Fluorine-18 properties is carried out. Availability of both radionuclides is described. Radiation doses by their use in SPECT and PET procedures are analysed. Supply and costs of Technetium-99m and Fluorine-18 are compared. Various compounds of these radionuclides used in diagnosis by PET and SPECT are listed. Technetium-99 will continue as a main radionuclide used in diagnostic procedures in foreseeable future.</p>2018-03-30T00:00:00-04:00Copyright (c) https://cosmosscholars.com/phms/index.php/ijnmr/article/view/872F-18 FDG PET/CT in Staging of Renal Cell Carcinoma Arising from a Native Kidney with Liver and Bone Metastasis in a Renal Transplant Recipient2018-05-06T08:42:19-04:00Koramadai Karuppusamy Kamaleshwarandr.kamaleshwar@gmail.comStuart Moreinfo@cosmosscholars.comRaghi Paramben Joseinfo@cosmosscholars.comAjit Sugunan Shintoinfo@cosmosscholars.com<p class="04-abstract"><strong>Abstract:</strong> Renal cell Carcinoma (RCC) of the native kidney accounts for less than 5% of all malignancies found in transplant recipients. Owing to the rarity of this condition, there are only a number of documented case reports of patients who have undergone renal transplantation with RCC of the native kidney. Fluorine -18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/ computer tomography (CT) (F-18 FDG PET/CT) is used in the staging of high risk RCC or when conventional imaging is equivocal. The prognosis of metastatic RCC is poor .We report the first case of a 55 year old post renal transplant recipient diagnosed with RCC of the native kidney with liver and bone metastases imaged using F- 18 FDG PET/CT.</p>2018-03-30T00:00:00-04:00Copyright (c)
