Radium Ra-223 dichloride (radium-223, Xofigo®) is a targeted alpha therapy approved for
the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with symptomatic bone …

In cardiac SPECT, specificity is significantly affected by artifacts due to photon absorption.
As the success of attenuation correction depends mainly on high-quality attenuation maps, …

Nonuniform soft-tissue attenuation affects the diagnostic accuracy of SPECT in myocardial
perfusion imaging. The attenuation map required for attenuation correction can be acquired …

The risk of iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis in euthyroid patients receiving iodine-containing
contrast agents is known to be low, but data on this risk in patients with latent hyperthyroidism …

Introduction: The predictive value of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET performed after a few cycles
of chemotherapy has been questioned in aggressive lymphomas. Inconsistent study results…

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a treatment option in patients with severe heart
failure and left bundle-branch block (LBBB). This study evaluated the effects of 4 and 13 mo …

Purpose In clinical routine, attenuation correction (AC) using X-ray CT is a relatively new
method for reducing attenuation artefacts. We evaluated the quality of attenuation maps …

In both diabetic and nondiabetic patients, there is a loose correlation between coronary flow
reserve (CFR) and sympathetic innervation in viable myocardial segments. The loose …

BACKGROUND: Adenosine is widely used for stress-testing in myocardial perfusion imaging.
During adenosine infusion, dyspnea is one of the main complaints of patients. The aim of …

99m Tc-ubiquicidin (UBI) 29-41 is under clinical evaluation for discrimination between bacterial
infection and unspecific inflammation. We compared the distribution of 99m Tc-UBI 29-41…
