Noninvasive PET Imaging and Tracking of Engineered Human Muscle Precursor Cells for Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering [PDF]

, 2016
Transplantation of human muscle precursor cells (hMPCs) is envisioned for the treatment of various muscle diseases. However, a feasible noninvasive tool to monitor cell survival, migration, and integration into the host tissue is still missing. METHODS:

Significance of FDG–PET standardized uptake values in predicting thyroid disease

European Thyroid Journal, 2023
Objective This study aimed to determine a standardized cut-off value for abnormal 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation in the thyroid gland. Methods Herein, 7013 FDG–PET/CT scans were included. An automatic thyroid segmentation method using two U-nets (2D- and 3D-U-net) was constructed; mean FDG standardized uptake value (SUV), CT value, and ...

[18F] FDOPA PET may confirm the clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease by imaging the nigro-striatal pathway and the sympathetic cardiac innervation: Proof-of-concept study [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
Autonomic involvement, including cardiac denervation, may precede the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease by several years. L-3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F] fluoro-phenylalanine is a positron emitter and a true analog of L-dopa, used in clinical practice to ...

Comparison of [11C]TZ1964B and [18F]MNI659 for PET imaging brain PDE10A in nonhuman primates [PDF]

, 2016
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors show therapeutic effects for diseases with striatal pathology. PET radiotracers have been developed to quantify in vivo PDE10A levels and target engagement for therapeutic interventions. The aim of this study was

A better Standard-Uptake-Value Body Habitus Normalizer for Fluorodeoxyglucose in Humans [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract PurposeTo devise a new body-habitus normalizer to be used in the calculation of a standardized uptake value (SUV) that is specific to the PET tracer 18 F-FDG. MethodsAfter exclusions for type and extent of cancer and timing of the scan, a cohort of 481 patients was selected for analysis of 18 F-FDG uptake into “normal” tissues ...
