The hot embolus of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose
AbstractScanning oncological patients with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) for their disease staging, evaluation of treatment response, and monitoring/management has become a standard of care. The use of the radioactive fluorine in the FDG molecule helps establish cell/tissue lines high on glucose consumption and hence metabolically active ...

Measurement of neurodegeneration using a multivariate early frame amyloid PET classifier
Introduction Amyloid measurement provides important confirmation of pathology for Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. However, many amyloid positive (Am+) early‐stage subjects do not worsen clinically during a clinical trial, and a ...

ENDOCRINE TUMOURS: Imaging in the follow up of differentiated thyroid cancer: current evidence and future perspectives for a risk-adapted approach [PDF]
The clinical and epidemiological profiles of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) have changed in the last three decades. Today's DTCs are more likely to be small, localized, asymptomatic papillary forms.
