Presents a letter to the editor in response to the article "Olfactory detection of human bladder cancer by dogs: proof of principle study," by Carolyn Willis et al. in the September 25, 2004 issue.doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.329.7468.712Welsh, James S...
PET scan for cancer PET scans can show how much energy different cells in your body are using. Since cancer cells are more active than normal cells, the scan can pick up on their activity. Areas with cancer cells light up as bright spots on the images. A PET scan can often detect canc...
PET scans had been performed for 3.60% of patients with bladder cancer, 1.09% of those with prostate cancer, and 5.32% of those with RCC. On regression analysis, a more recent year of diagnosis, younger age, and high stage or grade were predictors of PET scan usage for patients with ...
A 78-year-old male with primary prostate cancer underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT initial staging. PET/CT was performed on Biograph Vision. The images showed high tracer uptake in kidneys, salivary glands, and bladder, which are at physiologically normal levels. The liver, spleen, and intestines also...
In addition, the follow-up of a spontaneous flare-up in a 19-year old patient is presented showing high muscle 18 F-NaF uptake in one defined part within the flare-up area after three weeks. During follow-up,18 F-NaF PET /CT scan revealed newly formed heterotopic bone but only in ...
We next sought to test whether synthetic PET scans will add additional value to the CT deep-learning model that has demonstrated high accuracy in predicting lung cancer risks using low-dose CT scan images for lung cancer screening.16 We applied the cGAN model to predict the risk of developing...

2.6. Thyroid Cancer Thyroid Incidentaloma It is relatively common to observe incidental uptake of FDG in a thyroid nodule on a PET-CT scan done for unrelated reasons (incidentaloma). The incidence of thyroid cancer in hypermetabolic nodules has been reported to be between 21.4% and 43.8% [77...
Approved PSMA-PET Imaging Tracer Options for Prostate Cancer Author(s): Phillip Koo, MD,Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC+2 More The panel reviews the similarities and differences between the FDA-approved PSMA-PET tracer options for prostate cancer imaging. EP: 1.Risk Stratification of Patients wit...
18F-FET PET images acquired with a Siemens ECAT Exact HR+ (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) scanner according to the standard protocol of the department, described in detail previously [16], were used as initial training set (N = 25 cases). A transmission scan was performed durin...
