Predicting standardized uptake value of brown adipose tissue from CT scans using convolutional neural networks [PDF]
The standard method for identifying active Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) is [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) PET/CT imaging, which is costly and exposes patients to radiation, making it impractical for population studies.

Prognostic value of pre-treatment maximum standardized uptake value and CRP in radiotherapy of esophageal cancer. [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the pre-treatment maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and CRP in patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A retrospective review of 69 consecutive patients with esophageal cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy between 2013 and

Impact of metabolic indices of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography on post transplantation recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background Tumor recurrence is the leading cause of death after liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. There is an ongoing debate as to whether metabolic indices such as tumor to liver standardized uptake value ratio in 18 F ...

Different prognostic outcomes in two cases of FDG-PET/CT-Positive and -negative cardiac angiosarcoma [PDF]
Cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor with a poor prognosis, characterized by the high uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). This case report presents two cases of cardiac angiosarcoma with a marked difference in FDG uptake and prognosis.Case ...

The Diagnostic Capacity of Pre-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT for Predicting the Extranodular Spread of Lymph Node Metastases in Patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of pretreatment 90-min 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) to predict the extranodular spread of lymph node metastases in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Brain amyloid in preclinical Alzheimer\u27s disease is associated with increased driving risk [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Postmortem studies suggest that fibrillar brain amyloid places people at higher risk for hazardous driving in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: We administered driving questionnaires to 104 older drivers (19 AD, 24
