J Nucl Med 52:1566-72. 2011..Here, we quantify hepatic galactose elimination in humans using PET and the galactose analog 2-(18)F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-galactose ((18)F-FDGal) as the PET tracer...
Backflux of ammonia from brain to blood in human subjects with and without hepatic encephalopathyMichael Sørensen
PET Centre, Aarhus University Hospital, Noerrebrogade 44, DK 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark

Hepatic uptake and metabolism of galactose can be quantified in vivo by 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxygalactose positron emission tomographyMichael Sørensen
PET Center, Aarhus University Hospital, DK 8000 Aarhus, Denmark
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 295:G27-G36. 2008..At near-saturated kinetics, the maximal hepatic removal rate of galactose can be calculated from the net metabolic clearance of FDGal and the blood concentration of galactose...
FDG-PET improves management of patients with colorectal liver metastases allocated for local treatment: a consecutive prospective studyM Sørensen
Department of Medicine V, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark
Scand J Surg 96:209-13. 2007..Proper staging is therefore essential and CT is the standard imaging modality. We examined whether additional FDG-PET improves therapeutic management of patients with colorectal liver metastases...
New findings on cerebral ammonia uptake in HE using functional (13)N-ammonia PETMichael Sørensen
Department of Medicine V Hepatology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark
Metab Brain Dis 22:277-84. 2007..In conclusion, basic brain ammonia kinetics was not changed significantly in patients with cirrhosis +/- HE compared to healthy controls. Blood ammonia seems to be the more important factor for increased brain ammonia uptake in HE...

Department of Medicine V Hepatology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark
Hepatology 43:42-50. 2006..In conclusion, increased cerebral trapping of ammonia in patients with cirrhosis with acute HE was primarily attributable to increased blood ammonia and to a minor extent to changed ammonia kinetics in the brain...
