Somatostatin Analogues in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Past, Present and Future [PDF]
In recent decades, the incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has steadily increased. Due to the slow-growing nature of these tumors and the lack of early symptoms, most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, when curative treatment options are no ...

Radionuclide Imaging of Tumor Angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is a multistep process regulated by pro- and antiangiogenic factors. In order to grow and metastasize, tumors need a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients. For growth beyond 1-2 mm in size, tumors are dependent on angiogenesis. Inhibition of angiogenesis is a new cancer treatment strategy that is now widely investigated clinically ...

Radionuclide Small Intestine Imaging [PDF]
The aim of this overview article is to present the current possibilities of radionuclide scintigraphic small intestine imaging. Nuclear medicine has a few methods—scintigraphy with red blood cells labelled by means ofTc99mfor detection of the source of bleeding in the small intestine, Meckel’s diverticulum scintigraphy for detection of the ectopic ...

Radionuclide imaging of musculoskeletal infection [PDF]
Radionuclide imaging studies are routinely used to evaluate patients suspected of having musculoskeletal infection. Three-phase bone imaging is readily available, relatively inexpensive, and very accurate in the setting of otherwise normal bone. Labeled leukocyte imaging should be used in cases of "complicating osteomyelitis" such as prosthetic joint ...
