Functional image-based radiotherapy planning for non-small cell lung cancer: a simulation study [PDF]
Background and purpose: To investigate the incorporation of data from single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging (He-3-MRI) into intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning for non-small ...

Abstract Aims Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is an increasinglyrecognized cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which may be diagnosed non‐invasively using 99mTc 3,3‐diphosphono‐1,2‐propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) scintigraphy‐based diagnostic criteria.

Abstract Aims The extent of irreversible cardiomyocyte necrosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major determinant of residual left ventricular (LV) function and clinical outcome. Cell therapy based on CD34+ cells has emerged as an option to help repair the myocardium and to improve outcomes.

FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy
Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Use of the specific binding ratio distribution to characterise multiple system atrophy in advanced iodine-123-labelled N-(3-fluoropropyl)-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane serotonin transporter imaging [PDF]
Objective(s): Sudden death in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is caused by decreased serotonergic innervation, but there is no routine test method for this decrease.

Characterizing the parallax error in multi-pinhole micro-SPECT reconstruction [PDF]
The usage of pinholes is very important in preclinical micro-SPECT. Pinholes can magnify the object onto the detector, resulting in better system resolutions than the detector resolution.

Abstract Ictal eye closure is commonly associated with functional seizures but may also occur in epileptic seizures. We retrospectively reviewed 113 consecutive stereo‐EEG (SEEG) recordings from adults with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy (2015–2024) to identify prolonged bilateral eye closure during seizures.

Abstract Objective Epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment option for patients with medically refractory epilepsy due to mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia (MOGHE). The success of surgery depends on the accurate localization of the epileptogenic zone, which can be challenging due to the subtle imaging ...
