Oncology Letters, 2017 It has been reported that F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the neck and supraclavicular lesions represents activated brown adipose tissue (BAT). In the present study, the association between BAT activity, detected by FDG-positron emission tomography (PET), and the clinicopathological features of patients with breast cancer was investigated.

Noninvasive evaluation of ischaemic heart disease: myocardial perfusion imaging or stress echocardiography? [PDF]
, 2003 Stress echocardiography and myocardial perfusion imaging are commonly used noninvasive imaging modalities for the evaluation of ischaemic heart disease. Both modalities have proved clinically useful in the entire spectrum of coronary artery disease. Both

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2022 Background Imaging of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) is challenging, and no pathognomonic signs exist. Different tracers have been tested for this purpose, mainly inflammation markers including technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (PYP).
