Pulmonary complications in the non-HIV immunocompromised patient.
Jepson SL, Pakkal M, Bajaj A, Raj V Pulmonary complications in the non-HIV immunocompromised patient. Clin Radiol. 2012 May 15; Authors: Jepson SL, Pakkal M, Bajaj A, Raj V Abstract The incidence of non-HIV immunocompromised patients is increasing. This is primarily due to improved immunosuppressive regimes for autoimmune diseases and also increases in stem cell transplantation. Pulmonary complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Imaging is frequently used to assess these complications and to streamline therapies, as microbiological and/or pathological diagnosis can often be difficult, invasive, or protracted. This review provides the reader with a structured approach to interpret the imaging findings and differentiate between different infective and non-infective complications in these patients.

Delayed response assessment with FDG-PET-CT following (chemo)radiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Prestwich RJ, Subesinghe M, Gilbert A, Chowdhury FU, Sen M, Scarsbrook AF Delayed response assessment with FDG-PET-CT following (chemo)radiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Clin Radiol. 2012 May 15; Authors: Prestwich RJ, Subesinghe M, Gilbert A, Chowdhury FU, Sen M, Scarsbrook AF Abstract AIMS: To analyse the diagnostic accuracy of delayed response assessment 2-[(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) following (chemo)radiation for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-four consecutive patients who underwent a baseline and response assessment using FDG PET-CT for HNSCC following (chemo)radiation between August 2008 and April 2011 were identified retrospectively. Clinicopathological findings and serial clinical follow-up provided the reference standard. RESULTS: Median follow-up was 14 months (range 5-43 months). Response assessment FDG PET-CT was performed at 16.8 weeks (inter-quartile range 15.8-18.6 weeks). Thirty-one out of 44 (70%) response assessment examinations showed a complete metabolic response. Seven out of 40 (18%) assessable primary tumours were positive. Eight out of 41 (20%) patients with pre-treatment nodal disease had equivocal or positive FDG uptake at response assessment. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) for primary disease and nodal disease were 100, 89, 43, 100, and 100%, and 92, 63, and 100%, respectively. Seven patients had residual FDG-negative soft tissue detectable on the unenhanced CT component of the response assessment images; all remained disease free after clinical observation. Distant metastases were detected on response assessment FDG PET-CT in four out of the 44 patients (10%). CONCLUSION: The diagnostic accuracy of response assessment with FDG PET-CT performed at approximately 16 weeks post-(chemo)radiotherapy is good. The very high NPV of a complete metabolic response can be used to guide management decisions. Although the PPV is limited for local residual disease, FDG PET-CT is a powerful screening tool for the detection of interim metastatic disease. PMID: 22595082 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
