One of the challenges to lesion segmentation on bone scans is the non-specificity of the radiotracer, manifesting as high activity related to non-malignant processes like degenerative joint disease, sinuses, kidneys, thyroid and bladder. In this paper, we developed an automated bone scan lesion ...
Uptake depends on local blood flow and osteoblastic activity and accumulation of this tracer is focal because nearly all BM are accompanied by an osteoblastic reaction. Although 99mTc-MDP BS has a higher sensitivity than plain-film radiography, false-negative bone scans can result from the absence ...
Deficient glutamate uptake in synapses (with persistent neuronal stimulation and hyperreactivity) may also contribute to neuron damage and may be a therapeutic target. Hyperexcitation could enhance oxygen-mediated damage, resulting in a synergistic effect. Diabetic Neuropathy Diabetic neuropathy is a ...
A qualitative as well as semi-quantitative analysis using maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) based on body weight was performed for 65 metastatic and 56 DJD sites identified on the low dose CT scan acquired as a part of whole body PET/CT scan. The SUVmax range in DJD was 2.6-...
