Discordant findings of different positron emission tomography/CT tracers in a case of glioblastoma
18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) CT has proven useful in the evaluation of high-grade glioma and is also useful as a predictor of the degree of malignancy in newly diagnosed brain tumors.

Novel positron emission tomography radiotracers in brain tumor imaging
Although [18F] 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is the most widely used radiopharmaceutical the world over, it is not the ideal tracer for brain imaging, owing to its high physiological cortical uptake and lack of specificity.

Evaluation of image quality at the detector’s edge of dedicated breast positron emission tomography
Background Using phantoms and clinical studies in prone hanging breast imaging, we assessed the image quality of a commercially available dedicated breast PET (dbPET) at the detector’s edge, where mammary glands near the chest wall are located. These are

Deep learning for Dixon MRI-based attenuation correction in PET/MRI of head and neck cancer patients
Background Quantitative whole-body PET/MRI relies on accurate patient-specific MRI-based attenuation correction (AC) of PET, which is a non-trivial challenge, especially for the anatomically complex head and neck region.
