Patient release after 131I therapy: Wu and colleagues report on results from a nationwide survey to evaluate whether practices regarding hospital release of differentiated thyroid cancer patients treated with 131I have changed since publication of NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2011-01.
Page 397
Total-body PSMA PET for bone staging: Pomykala and colleagues determine the relationship between serum prostate-specific antigen levels and the incidence of bone metastases detected by total-body 68Ga–prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 PET/CT and assess the effect of expanding the imaging field.
Page 405
End-of-treatment PET in TB: Lawal and colleagues explore the impact of findings on end-of-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT on tuberculosis relapse in patients treated with a standard regimen of antituberculous treatment for drug-sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis.

18F-ASEM PET in MCI: Coughlin and colleagues use this tracer to examine the relationship between the α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and Alzheimer disease in elderly controls and in patients with mild cognitive impairment.
Page 423
64Cu-ATSM as a redox imaging marker: Floberg and colleagues demonstrate that this 64Cu-labeled PET tracer, developed for hypoxia imaging, is dependent on cellular redox state, with or without hypoxia.
