A patient with glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome: Paroxysmal choreoathetosis and cerebral positron-emission tomography findings

Neurological Sciences and Neurophysiology, 2022
Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT-1 DS) is an inborn error of metabolism that results in defective glucose transport and consequently a reduced supply of glucose to the brain.

F18-Fluorodeoxyglucose–Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Screening in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome [PDF]

JAMA, 2008
Individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have an inherited cancer predisposition to a diverse array of malignancies beginning early in life; survivors of one cancer have a markedly elevated risk of additional primary tumors. The underlying genetic defect in the majority of the families is a germline mutation in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene.

Reconstructed spatial resolution and contrast recovery with Bayesian penalized likelihood reconstruction (Q.Clear) for FDG-PET compared to time-of-flight (TOF) with point spread function (PSF) [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Bayesian penalized likelihood reconstruction for PET (e.g., GE Q.Clear) aims at improving convergence of lesion activity while ensuring sufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
