Background Accuracy in the quantification of the SUV is a critical point in PET because proper
quantification of tumor uptake is essential for therapy monitoring and prognosis evaluation…

We have investigated dual-time-point 18 F-FDG PET for the detection and delineation of
high-grade brain tumors using quantitative criteria applied on a voxel basis. Methods: Twenty-…

Purpose: 90 Y‐microspheres are widely used for the radioembolization of metastatic liver
cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma and there is a growing interest for imaging 90 Y‐…

Purpose This study aims to determine whether PET textural features measured with a new
dedicated breast PET scanner reflect biological characteristics of breast tumors. Methods One …

Molecular imaging of breast cancer has undoubtedly permitted a substantial development of
the overall diagnostic accuracy of this malignancy in the last years. Accurate tumour staging…

Purpose Clinical diagnosis of human prion diseases can be challenging since symptoms are
common to other disorders associated with rapidly progressive dementia. In this context, 18 …

The spill-in counts from neighbouring regions can significantly bias the quantification over
small regions close to high activity extended sources. This effect can be a drawback for 18 F-…

Objectives To analyze the utility of metabolic imaging, and specifically of dedicated breast
positron emission tomography (dbPET) to differentiate between indolent and potentially …

Introduction Current guidelines for brain PET imaging advice against the injection of
diazepam prior to brain FDG-PET examination in order to avoid possible interactions of …

The 90 Yttrium radioembolisation (RE) procedure requires the collaboration of a multidisciplinary
team that includes hepatologists, oncologists, interventional radiologists and nuclear …
