- Abstract
We presented here the results of PET imaging of 12 patients, previously operated on for colorectal cancer and followed at the 1st Department of Surgery, University of Debrecen. The tests were carried out using 0.15 mCi/kg FDG injections. Whole body imaging was performed in eleven patients. The indication for PET was elevated tumor marker levels in three patients, although CT scan was negative. The PET scan showed lymph node, hepatic and disseminated lymph node metastases with liver involvement in these patients. Suspicious lesions were found on CT scan in the pelvis of four patients. Local recurrence was identified in three of them, PET was negative in the fourth case. Bone scan suggested rib metastasis in one patient, which was not supported at PET investigation. In one patient, the malignant nature of large retroperitoneal lymph nodes could not be determined by CT. PET imaging proved that they were malignant and detected a previously unknown pulmonary metastasis at the same time. In one patient both pulmonary and liver metastases were seen on CT, whereas PET confirmed only the latter. Similarly, CT failed to identify liver metastasis detected at ultrasound, while PET proved it. Finally, a pulmonary metastasis detected on X-ray, could be confirmed by PET only. Based on our experience, we recommend PET-scanning with FDG when conventional imaging is equivocal and/or elevated tumor marker levels are present during follow-up. FDG-PET is important in the detection of local recurrence and metastases as well. It is advisable to use PET more often in the evaluation of patients with recurrent colorectal cancer in order to diagnose recurrences in earlier stages, which helps to identify patients who will benefit from surgery.

- Abstract
Thirty-three [18F]-FDG and ten [11C]-methionine (altogether 43) PET studies were performed in 37 (24 non-seminoma and 13 seminoma) patients. All results were assessed on the basis of histology (or cytology) or clinical follow-up. PET scan identified metastatic disease in 13 cases while 30 investigations resulted in a negative medical report. There were 3 false-positive cases and no false-negative results were obtained. The false-positive results were likely to occur due to FDG accumulation in benign lesions. There were no false-positive findings with the use of [11C]-methionine. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 100%, 91% and 93%, respectively, using both tracers.

- Abstract
The authors have reviewed the financial considerations of oncological FDG PET examinations by the guidelines of the Health Care Financing Administration (USA). By critical assessment of large number of clinical investigations, the cost-effectiveness of FDG PET scans has been confirmed in the following cases: differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodule, diagnosis, staging and restaging of non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant lymphomas, melanoma malignum, esophageal neoplasms and cancers of the head and neck. The role of this method in breast cancer is currently under intensive investigation. Due to the correct staging, PET examinations in these indications enable the clinicians to choose the optimal treatment ensuring the maximum probability of recovery and being cost-effective as unnecessary medical interventions become avoidable.

- Abstract
The authors investigated the central projection of excitement in acute stage vestibular neuronitis using positron emission tomography. The changes in the pattern of regional cerebral blood flow caused by the disease were compared with the effect of cold caloric stimulation known to provoke similar signs. It was concluded that the involved brain regions overlapped each other only partially. The mismatch could be explained by the compensatory processes developing during the disease. These processes do not normally develop during the caloric vestibular stimulation because of its short duration.

- Abstract
Background and Objective: Functional imaging methods have opened new perspectives for vestibular research. Many authors have investigated the central connections of the system, but the differences between the reports leave further questions open. We investigated the cerebral projection of the vestibular system, using positron emission tomography in right-handed subjects., Patients and Methods: Bilateral caloric stimulation was used in every volunteer (n = 6). This can be considered a standard method, which will make it possible to compare the results from different laboratories in the future. A detailed map of activated and deactivated brain regions is included., Results: Changes caused by vestibular stimulation are portrayed. The activated regions partially correspond with previous results in the literature. We would like to point out the Brodmann 6 region as the cortical manifestation of involuntary isometric tightening of muscles. We have found many, previously unidentified regions showing decreased regional cerebral blood flow., Conclusions: We are the first to point out the functional connection between the hippocampus and the vestibular system in this report.

- Abstract
The authors investigated the cerebral projection of the vestibular system, using positron emission tomography, in right-handed subjects. Both sided cold caloric stimulation was used in every volunteer (n = 6). A detailed map of activated and deactivated brain regions is included. This portrays changes caused by vestibular stimulation. The contralaterally activated regions according to the stimulation side were: postcentral gyrus, transvers temporal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, posterior part of the insula, claustrum, putamen, inferior parietal lobule, precentral gyrus, premotor cortex, cingulate gyrus. The ipsilaterally activated regions were: transvers temporal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, inferior parietal lobule, posterior part of the insula. There was no hemispherial dominance. The activated regions partially correspond with previous results in the literature. It would like to be pointed out the Brodmann 6 region as the cortical manifestation of involuntary isometric tightening of muscles. The contralaterally deactivated regions were: inferior, superior and medius temporal gyrus, medial and medius frontal gyrus, inferior occipital gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus and hippocampus. Ipsilaterally deactivated regions were: superior and medial frontal gyrus, inferior temporal gyrus, angular gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus and hippocampus, fusiform and inferior occipital gyrus. There was prominent hemispherial dominance in the stimulated, ipsilateral side. The deactivation based functional connection between the hippocampus and the vestibular system was pointed out in such a relation for the first time in this report.

- Abstract
A total of 399 positron emission tomography (PET) examinations were carried out with a GE 4096 Plus PET scanner during the past 5 years on patients referred to the National Institute of Oncology in Budapest. The majority (n = 316) of these investigations were performed with the use of [18F]-fluorodezoxyglucose (FDG) to map the glucose metabolism; [11C]-methionine PET was indicated in 79 cases to detect protein transport and metabolism. The perfusion tracer [15O]-butanol was applied in only 4 cases to answer certain oncology-related, differential diagnostic questions. The oncological examinations were related to primary diagnostics, staging/restaging and therapy monitoring. In the staging/restaging and therapy monitoring of known tumours, conclusive results were achieved in 81-82% of the cases by using either FDG or [11C]-methionine as tracer. The concordant numerical data indicated that the PET investigation provides a definite answer to the question of the presence or absence of viable tumour tissue, with similar effectivity in any of the above indications, no matter whether FDG or [11C]-methionine is used. The search for occult primary tumours was the most frequent indication within the primary diagnostics: 10 (37%) primaries were localized by using FDG PET in the 27 investigated cases. This is a remarkably high value, especially in view of the failure of all the conventional diagnostic procedures carried out prior to the PET investigations. Application of PET may be indicated in all cases when the ultimate question is a non-invasive estimation of viable tumorous tissue.
