Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Molecular Imaging, Beaumont Health System, Royal Oak, MI.

Knowledge of iatrogenic esophageal injuries is important given the variety of etiologies, including medical instrumentation (eg, endoscopes), radiotherapy, and anticoagulation. The clinical presentation and imaging findings of esophageal injuries depend on the mechanism and location of the injury. Imaging modalities commonly used for the evaluation of esophageal injuries include esophagram and computed tomography.

Diagnostic value of surveillance F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT for detecting recurrent esophageal carcinoma after curative treatment.

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging

August 2019

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, 81 Irwon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea, 06351.

Purpose: Esophageal carcinoma recurs within two years in approximately half of patients who receive curative treatment and is associated with poor survival. While F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a reliable method of detecting recurrent esophageal carcinoma, in most previous studies FDG PET/CT scans were performed when recurrence was suspected. The aim of this study was to evaluate FDG PET/CT as a surveillance modality to detect recurrence of esophageal carcinoma after curative treatment where clinical indications of recurrent disease are absent.
