18F‐FDG PET‐CT Scans in Oncology Patients Treated with Hyaluronic Acid Filler: Not Always a Pitfall
Case Reports in Oncological Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.The use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in oncology patients undergoing PET‐CT scans is a topic of debate due to potential interference with imaging accuracy. A 54‐year‐old female, postmelanoma metastasectomy in the parotid region with subsequent facial nerve palsy (FNP), received HA filler injections for facial symmetry and functional restoration ...

Exploring Vanilla U-Net for Lesion Segmentation from Whole-body FDG-PET/CT Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Tumor lesion segmentation is one of the most important tasks in medical image analysis. In clinical practice, Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography~(FDG-PET) is a widely used technique to identify and quantify metabolically active tumors. However, since FDG-PET scans only provide metabolic information, healthy tissue or benign disease with ...

Domain-adapted large language models for classifying nuclear medicine reports [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 With the growing use of transformer-based language models in medicine, it is unclear how well these models generalize to nuclear medicine which has domain-specific vocabulary and unique reporting styles. In this study, we evaluated the value of domain adaptation in nuclear medicine by adapting language models for the purpose of 5-point Deauville score ...

Comparison of (18)F SPECT with PET in myocardial imaging: A realistic thorax-cardiac phantom study [PDF]
, 2006 BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with fluorine-18 ((18)F) Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and flow tracer such as Rubidium-82 ((82)Rb) is an established method for evaluating an ischemic but viable myocardium. However, the high cost of PET

Survival analysis, the infinite Gaussian mixture model, FDG-PET and non-imaging data in the prediction of progression from mild cognitive impairment [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We present a method to discover interesting brain regions in [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) scans, showing also the benefits when PET scans are in combined use with non-imaging variables. The discriminative brain regions facilitate a better understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, and they can also be used for
