| [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose | Radiation | With each Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT)scan an intravenous administration of radioactive glucose (FDG)is given. This is a weight dependent dosage. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To confirm the diagnostic effectiveness of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG) as compared to the gold standard of histopathological diagnosis. | The primary outcomes of sensitivity and accuracy of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies will be obtained by comparing results of the PET scan with the gold standard of histopathological diagnosis when those results are available. Comparison to correlative imaging follow-up, and assessment of efficacy based on feedback from referring physicians will be used in the absence of pathologic data. | Three years |
