Advanced MR Techniques for Preoperative Glioma Characterization: Part 2
Preoperative clinical MRI protocols for gliomas, brain tumors with dismal outcomes due to their infiltrative properties, still rely on conventional structural MRI, which does not deliver information on tumor genotype and is limited in the delineation of diffuse gliomas.

A Case of F-18 FDG PET-CT Detection of Sporadic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis of Ovarican Cancer [PDF]
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is derived from the parafollicular or C-cells. As surgical resection is the only curative therapy for MTC, the early diagnosis is important for the patient's survival.

Lhermitte-Duclos disease presenting with positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance fusion imaging: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Lhermitte-Duclos disease or dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum is an extremely rare tumor. It is a slowly enlarging mass within the cerebellar cortex. The majority of cases are diagnosed in the third or fourth decade of life.

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]
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).

Two Views of the Radius Gap and the Role of Light Curve Fitting [PDF]
Recently, several groups have resolved a gap that bifurcates planets between the size of Earth and Neptune into two populations. The location and depth of this feature is an important signature of the physical processes that form and sculpt planets. In particular, planets residing in the radius gap are valuable probes of these processes as they may be ...
