Patient education materials for non-specific low back pain and sciatica: A systematic review and meta-analysis

PLoS ONE, 2022
Introduction Guidelines recommend patient education materials (PEMs) for low back pain (LBP), but no systematic review has assessed PEMs on their own. We investigated the effectiveness of PEMs on process, clinical, and health system outcomes for LBP and ...

Whole-body averaged specific absorption rate estimation using a personal, distributed exposimeter [PDF]

, 2015
For the first time, a body area network (BAN) is used to construct a personal, distributed exposimeter (PDE), which can measure the whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (SAR(wb)) in real life, together with the incident power density (S-inc). The

Reply to ‘PEM or MBI?’ [PDF]

Annals of Nuclear Medicine, 2016
We thank the author’s interest in our report entitled ‘breast cancer screening by fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18FFDG) positron emission mammography (PEM)’ [1]. Although, the commercial use of molecular breast imaging (MBI) is not available currently in our country, it has widely been adopted for breast cancer screening in other countries [2 ...

A retrospective on the LBNL PEM project [PDF]

Physica Medica, 2006
We present a retrospective on the LBNL Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) project, looking back on our design and experiences. The LBNL PEM camera utilizes detector modules that are capable of measuring depth of interaction (DOI) and places them into 4 detector banks in a rectangular geometry.
