Multiparametric Cardiac 18F-FDG PET: Pilot Comparison of FDG Delivery Rate with 82Rb Myocardial Blood Flow [PDF]
, 2020 Myocardial blood flow (MBF) and flow reserve are usually quantified in the clinic with positron emission tomography (PET) using a perfusion-specific radiotracer (e.g. 82Rbchloride). However, the clinical accessibility of existing perfusion tracers remains limited.

Clustering Analysis of FDG-PET Imaging in Primary Progressive Aphasia
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018 Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the neurodegeneration of language brain systems. Three main clinical forms (non-fluent, semantic, and logopenic PPA) have been recognized, but applicability of the ...

Self-Supervised Learning for Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling in Dynamic PET [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Dynamic positron emission tomography imaging (dPET) provides temporally resolved images of a tracer enabling a quantitative measure of physiological processes. Voxel-wise physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling of the time activity curves (TAC) can provide relevant diagnostic information for clinical workflow.

Autopet Challenge 2023: nnUNet-based whole-body 3D PET-CT Tumour Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) combined with Computed Tomography (CT) scans are critical in oncology to the identification of solid tumours and the monitoring of their progression. However, precise and consistent lesion segmentation remains challenging, as manual segmentation is time-consuming and subject to intra- and inter ...

Primary nodal anthracosis identified by EBUS-TBNA as a cause of FDG PET/CT positive mediastinal lymphadenopathy. [PDF]
, 2013 Isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy can result from a number of potentially serious aetiologies. Traditionally those presenting with mediastinal lymphadenopathy would undergo mediastinoscopy to elucidate a final diagnosis or receive empirical treatment.

Spatio-Temporal Dual-Stream Neural Network for Sequential Whole-Body PET Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Sequential whole-body 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans are regarded as the imaging modality of choice for the assessment of treatment response in the lymphomas because they detect treatment response when there may not be changes on anatomical imaging. Any computerized analysis of lymphomas in whole-body PET requires
