    Iodine/FDG ""Flip-Flop"" Phenomenon Inside a Large Metastatic Thyroid Cancer Lesion Better Characterized on SPECT/CT and PET/CT Studies
    (2018) DUARTE, Paulo Schiavom; MARIN, Jose Flavio Gomes; CARVALHO, Jose Willegaignon de Amorim de; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto
    Iodine/FDG flip-flop phenomenon inside large metastatic thyroid cancer lesions has been rarely described. We present a case of this phenomenon better characterized using SPECT/CT and PET/CT studies.

    Brain Metastasis of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Without Macroscopic Calcification Detected First on 68Ga-Dotatate and Then on 18F-Fluoride PET/CT
    (2018) DUARTE, Paulo Schiavom; MARIN, Jose Flavio Gomes; CARVALHO, Jose Willegaignon De Amorim De; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto
    We report a case of a medullary thyroid carcinoma noncalcified brain metastasis characterized on Ga-68-dotatate PET/CT but not on an F-18-fluoride PET/CT performed 1 month later. Subsequent F-18-fluoride PET/CT studies performed 7 and 19 months after the Ga-68-dotatate PET/CT study demonstrated focal uptake in the metastasis. The CT images of the last PET/CT study also depicted a small focus of calcification beginning in the metastatic site.

    Comparison of the Variability of SUV Normalized by Skeletal Volume with the Variability of SUV Normalized by Body Weight in F-18-Fluoride PET/CT
    (2019) MARIN, Jose Flavio Gomes; DUARTE, Paulo Schiavom; CARVALHO, Jose Willegaignon de Amorim de; SADO, Heitor Naoki; SAPIENZA, Marcelo Tatit; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto
    Our objective was to test the hypothesis that variability in SUV normalized by skeletal volume (SV) in F-18-fluoride (F-18-NaF) PET/CT studies is lower than variability in SUV normalized by body weight (BW). Methods: The mean SUV (SUVmean) was obtained for whole skeletal volume of interest (wsVOI) in 163 selected F-18-NaF PET/CT studies. These studies were performed to investigate bone metastases and were considered to have normal results. SUVmean was calculated with normalization by BW (BW SUVmean), with normalization by SV (SV SUVmean), and without normalization (WN SUVmean). The total SV for each patient was also estimated on the basis of the wsVOI defined on the CT component of the PET/CT study. SUVmean variability for each patient was estimated as the absolute value of the difference between the SUVmean for the patient and the mean of the SUVmean for the whole group of patients, divided by the mean of the SUVmean for the whole group of patients. The variabilities of SUVmean calculated by the 3 methods were compared using a paired 1-tailed Wilcoxon test. Results: The mean variability for the BW, SV, and WN SUVmean was 0.16, 0.13, and 0.16, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between SV and BW SUVmean variability (P = 0.03) and between SV and WN SUVmean variability (P < 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between BW and WN SUVmean variability (P = 0.4). Conclusion: In patients with normal F-18-NaF PET/CT results, SV SUVmean presents lower variability than BW SUVmean.
