OBJECTIVE: The authors examine the functional anatomy of serotonergic and dopaminergic
systems in obsessive-compulsive disorder in psychotropic-naive patients without …

There is circumstantial evidence for the involvement of serotonergic and dopaminergic
systems in the pathophysiology of social anxiety disorder. In the present study, using SPECT …

Recently introduced PET systems using silicon photomultipliers with digital readout (dPET)
have an improved timing and spatial resolution, aiming at a better image quality than …

Purpose Digital PET systems (dPET) improve lesion detectability as compared to PET
systems with conventional photomultiplier tubes (cPET). We prospectively studied the …

Background We studied the added value of digital FDG-PET/CT in disease staging and
restaging compared to the standard work-up with contrast enhanced CT (ceCT) and CA19-9 in …

Several studies have shown the feasibility of divalent cobalt (Co)-isotopes ( 55 Co and 57 Co)
in imaging of neuronal damage in stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral tumors and traumatic …

Technetium-99m mercaptoacetylglycine ( 99m Tc-MAG3) renography is a successful non-invasive
method for the evaluation of renal transplants. In this study we prospectively studied …

The authors report a case of methotrexate osteopathy as revealed by Tc-99m HDP bone
scintigraphy in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Methotrexate is used widely in high doses as …

Cobalt-55 ( 55 Co) has been shown to be an interesting positron emission tomography (PET)
tracer that may reflect calcium (Ca) influx in damaged cerebral tissue. Because Ca load is …
