Thigh burn – A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) related adverse event
Burns are an unexpected adverse event of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present an interesting case of a patient who underwent an MRI and suffered a second degree burn to their inner thighs thought to be caused by the creation of a “tissue-loop ...

Bone strain index in the prediction of vertebral fragility refracture
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can provide quantitative (bone mineral density, BMD) and qualitative (trabecular bone score, TBS) indexes of bone status, able to predict fragility fractures in most osteoporotic patients. A new qualitative index of

Background Arterial sampling in PET studies for the purposes of kinetic modeling remains an invasive, time-intensive, and expensive procedure. Alternatives to derive the blood time-activity curve (BTAC) non-invasively are either reliant on large vessels ...

[18F]MPPF and [18F]FDG μPET imaging in rats: impact of transport and restraint stress
Background Stress exposure can significantly affect serotonergic signaling with a particular impact on 5-HT1A receptor expression. Positron emission tomography (PET) provides opportunities for molecular imaging of alterations in 5-HT1A receptor binding ...

Penumbra Measurements and Comparison of In-House and Standard Circular Cones by the Gafchoromic Film, Pinpoint Ion Chamber, and MCNPX Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]
Introduction: Penumbra is an important property of the radiation beam to obtain a suitable margin surrounding the target volume. Therefore, the precise penumbra width determination in stereotactic radiotherapy is necessary for treatment planning.
