All patients had a history and physical at each surveillance visit, 78% had Pap testing, 57% had CA-125 levels drawn, 59% had \{CT\} (computed tomography) scans done, 6% had \{PET\} (positron emission tomography) scans done for surveillance. In our cohort, recurrence was detected by ...
Static PET imaging at 60 min post-injection showed L-[18F]FETrp had a comparable tumor uptake with [1F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). However, L-[18F]FETrp showed a significantly higher tumor-to-brain ratio than FDG (n = 4, p < 0.05). Sixty-minute-long dynamic PET scans using...
PURPOSE To determine if specific tumor types of non-small cell lung cancer can be identified by variance in FDG-PET standard uptake value (SUV) in combination with characteristics on CT METHOD AND MATERIALS Staging FDG-PET and CT scans of 89 patients (41 men and 48 women, average age 60.6...
The PET/CT scans displayed substantial absorption of [68Ga]Ga-FAP-2286 in tumor lesions in all patients (100% (21/21)). Irrespective of the tumors’ origins (epithelial or mesothelium) and whether they exhibited local recurrence, distant recurrence, or metastatic lesions, the PET/CT scans ...
Structural MRI scans of the brain were acquired on a 1.5 T Siemens Sonata tomograph for co-registration with PET images and definition of volumes of interest (VOIs; see below for details). A high-resolution, sagittal, T1-weighted, 3-dimensional, volumetric scan was acquired using a whole- ...
This corresponds to metabolic changes on rCBF, PET and SPECT and thereby becomes of diagnostic value. 4. 4. This pattern is largely symmetric. Metabolic asymmetries have however been reported on PET scans. In this context individual variations of the topographic degenerative brain pattern and normal...
During two analytical sessions on Pietkowo IG1 zircons, the count rates of nine masses were sequentially measured over 6 scans. The raw data were reduced using the SQUID Excel Macro of Ludwig (2009). The zircon U–Pb ratios were nor- malized relative to the Temora 2 reference zircon ...
Dual-energy CT to detect recurrent HCC after TACE: Initial experience of color-coded iodine CT imaging To evaluate the feasibility of diagnosing recurrence of HCC after TACE color-coded iodine CT (CICT) based on arterial phase scans obtained by a dual-energy... JA Lee,WK Jeong,Y Kim,......
In addition, the PET data were corrected for head motion by aligning all frames to a mean image of frames 3 through 8, using AIR (Woods et al, 1992) as implemented in Medx (Sensor Systems Inc., Sterling, VA). To provide an anatomical framework for the PET analysis, MRI scans were ...
