We tested the DP method for total-body Ki parametric imaging in sixteen subjects (nine healthy and seven cancer patients), each with an 18F-FDG dynamic scan on the uEXPLORER PET/CT system. Using the CM Ki as the reference, root-mean-squared error (RMSE) was compared between DP and CP ...
The enrichment of peri-cancerous adipose tissue is a distinctive feature of colorectal cancer (CRC), accelerating disease progression and worsening prognosis. The communication between tumor cells and adjacent adipocytes plays a crucial role in CRC advan
the distribution of proteins was monitored using whole-body positron emission tomography combined with computerized tomography (PET/CT) imaging up to 90 min post-injection. Results
Four out of ten (40 %) evaluable patients had disease control based on PET/CT scan at 3 months and median overall survival was 9.3 months. A short-term increase in systemic pro-inflammatory cytokines and a prominent infiltration of TILs to tumors was seen post-treatment in 11 out of 12 ...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a monogenic disorder caused by an aberrant expansion of CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene (HTT). Pathogenesis is associated with expression of the mutant (mHTT) protein in the CNS, with its levels most likely related to dis
(e.g. MRI, fMRI, PET, CT-Scan and EEG) [24]. Other software like GIMIAS, Elastix, and MITK support all types of images. Various other widely used tools and their features in this domain are listed in Table1. Such bioinformatics-based big data analysis may extract greater insights and ...
18F-FDG PET/CT scan has been used in initial staging at diagnosis of early-stage NSCLC [81,82]. In radiographic evaluation for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, ORR is the sum of CR and PR per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) [110,111]. However, in neoadju...
Tape stripping was carried out with a 3M™ Blenderm™ surgical tape (3M™ Medica, 3 M Deutsch land GmbH, Neuss, Germany; metric 25 mm × 4.5 m); any body hair was removed before with a 3M™ Clipper. Patients were tested on the upper back with nickel sulfate 5% pet. supplied ...
