The basics of positron emission tomography (PET) nuclear imaging explainedA PET-CT head and neck cancer scan showing various image reconstructions. The top left image is the separate CT scan showing the anatomy. The top right scan shows the fused PET and CT scans with false color added to he...
Reduced radiation dose and shorter exam times for PET/CT scans are big advantages for cancer patients, who may require multiple scans during their treatment and who may find it challenging to remain motionless during a typical 20 min PET scan. Radiologists at theWright Center of InnovationatOhio ...

Of 297 PSMA PET/CT scans, 134 (45.1%) displayed PSMA-positive lesions suggestive of recurrent prostate cancer. Early scans were positive in 114 (38.4%) cases. Additional late imaging of the pelvis showed lesions characteristic for PCa in 131 (44.1%) men. Scan results differed depending on th...
When you first enroll in a pet insurance policy, you will have to disclose any illness or condition that your pet might have, whether it is something as simple as chronic allergies or something more serious like cancer or diabetes. Do all pet insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions?
FDG PET/CT is increasingly used for primary staging of muscle invasive bladder cancer and for detection of recurrence after radical cystectomy. Few studies have used FDG PET/CT for response evaluation of neoadjuvant, induction chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Furthermore, small studies have tested non-...
Professor Ben Davis, PhD, science director of the Franklin’s Next Generation Chemistry group, led the research. He explained, “Finding an accurate way to identify when TB is still active in the body is not only important for initial diagnosis, but to ensure patients are receiving antibi...
These findings could be explained by the histological cell type of low-grade breast cancer such as ILC, with false negative in 18F-FDG PET/CT (Kumar et al. 2009) and non-specific uptake of 18F-FDG PET/CT, such as infection and inflammation (Boellaard et al. 2015). In a subgroup ...
Conversely, the performance in CV when mixing different images (OSEM-2D vs. OSEM-3D) were inferior, with the exception of the PC(SH-FO) dataset for survival classification in the PTV (0.7 AUC). This can be partly explained by the lower degree of reproducibility between VOIs segmented in th...
Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is an ideal checkpoint for immunohistochemical detection. The method of obtaining PD-L1 expression through biopsy can impact the accurate assessment of PD-L1 expression due to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity
