Abdominal extranodal lymphoma detection: positron emission tomography/computed tomography can help
Background Lymphoid neoplasms that present with masses are broadly referred to as lymphomas, and they can be classified to two main groups: Hodgkin’s (HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL); they are mainly characterized by enlargement of lymph nodes ...

Catchment-scale Richards equation-based modeling of evapotranspiration via boundary condition switching and root water uptake schemes [PDF]
In arid and semiarid climate catchments, where annual evapotranspiration (ET) and rainfall are typically comparable, modeling ET is important for proper assessment of water availability and sustainable land use management. The aim of the present study is

Correction of scan time dependence of standard uptake values in oncological PET [PDF]
Standard uptake values (SUV) as well as tumor-to-blood standard uptake ratios (SUR) measured with [ 18F-]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET are time dependent. This poses a serious problem for reliable quantification since variability of scan start time relative to the time of injection is a persistent issue in clinical oncological Positron emission ...

Commentary on "a case of paratesticular leiomyosarcoma successfully treated with orchiectomy and chemotherapy" [PDF]
We have read with great interest the article written by Ko and colleagues on a particularly rare type of malignant mesenchymal tumor that is paratesticular leiomyosarcoma and we did appreciate the argumentation on the utility of adjuvant chemotherapy as ...

Biases in Multicenter Longitudinal PET Standardized Uptake Value Measurements
This study investigates measurement biases in longitudinal positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) studies that are due to instrumentation variability including human error. Improved estimation of variability between patient scans is of particular importance for assessing response to therapy and multicenter trials.

Comparison of standardized uptake values with volume of distribution for quantitation of [11C]PBR28 brain uptake [PDF]
[(11)C]PBR28 is a high-affinity ligand for the Translocator Protein 18 kDa (TSPO), which is considered to be a marker for microglial activation. Volume of distribution (VT) estimated with an arterial plasma input function is the gold standard for quantitation of [(11)C]PBR28 binding.
