In combination with the CT, we measured the long-axis diameter and HU of the anterior mediastinal mass at the same level while obtaining the SUVmax. Statistical analysis Patient age and quantitative parameters on [18F]FDG PET/CT are expressed as median and range. The differences between groups...
F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and/or computed tomography (CT) images:Abefore fasting;Btwo months after first fast;Cfive months after second fast;Dnine months after second fast occurring over a span of two years Full size image The patient was thoroughly e...
Ultra-low activityImage qualityReconstructionBMIPurpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the image quality and diagnostic performance of different reconstructions over a wide range of patient body mass indices (BMIs) obtained by total-body PET/CT with ultra-low 18 F-FDG activity (0.37...
Thus, we performed the micro-PET experiments using the18F-FDG radiotracer to examine whether MEE alters brain activity. We noted a higher uptake of18F-FDG in the ethanol-exposed presymptomatic APP/PS1 mice compared to the air-exposed presymptomatic APP/PS1 mice, especially in the cortex and ...
T2WI and T1WI images showed a level 1 node (C–D, arrow). PET/CT showed intense FDG hypermetabolism in the right breast (SUV: 7.5 on early images) (E) suggesting right breast malignancy and a nodular FDG hypermetabolism in the right axilla (SUV: 3.8), suggesting right axillary ...

Furthermore, a tumor cell content of over 80% is needed to generate reliable functional data on OXPHOS enzyme activity. IHC staining of heterogeneous samples is the method of choice because it reliably reflects the in vivo situation at the cellular level [18,19]. Therefore, the aim of the ...

Our findings suggest a rationale for stimulating microglial activity in early and prodromal Alzheimer cases—possibly using immunotherapy. Plasma NfL levels could be used as a measure of the protective efficacy of immune stimulation and for monitoring efficacy of putative neuroprotective agents....
