OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility and safety of skeletal myoblast transplantation in
patients with chronic myocardial infarction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. …

Aim Experimental animal studies suggest that the use of skeletal myoblast in patients with
myocardial infarction may result in improved cardiac function. The aim of the study was to …

Background & Aims: Positron emission tomography (PET) allows imaging and quantitative
analysis of organ functions in basal and stimulated conditions. We have applied this method …

We used functional brain imaging with positron emission tomography (PET)-H 2 15 O to
study a remarkable neurophysiological finding in the normal brain. Auditory stimulation at …

The aim of this study was to assess the physical performance of a new PET/CT system, the
Discovery IQ with 5-ring detector blocks. Methods: Performance was measured using the …

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…

Background The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the patient effective dose (ED)
for different PET/CT procedures performed with a variety of PET radiopharmaceutical …

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 To reduce the radiation dose to patients by optimizing oncological FDG PET/CT
protocols. Methods The baseline PET/CT protocol in our institution for oncological PET/CT …

Purpose: An improved method for multichannel dosimetry is presented. This method explicitly
takes into account the information provided by the unexposed image of the film. Methods: …
