Since its introduction in 1998, dual-modality PET/CT imaging has received great attention in
the medical community. For the first time, patients can be examined with both CT and PET in …

In combined PET/CT imaging, functional data provided by 18 F-FDG increase diagnostic
accuracy over conventional PET and CT in a variety of malignancies. The question to be raised …

The last decade has seen the development of hybrid imaging technologies combining
positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) …

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of dual-modality positron emission tomographic (PET)–computed
tomographic (CT) imaging, as compared with PET alone and CT alone, in the …

ContextDeciding on the appropriate therapy for patients with malignant diseases mandates
accurate tumor staging with whole-body coverage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a …

when staging different malignant diseases. Patients and Methods This was a …

This study was implemented to compare the value of PET, CT, and dual-modality PET/CT
imaging for assessing gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) response to imatinib therapy. …

To reduce potential mis-registration from differences in the breathing pattern between two
complementary PET and CT data sets, patients are generally allowed to breathe quietly during …

The segmentation of metastatic volumes in PET is usually performed by thresholding methods.
In a clinical application, the optimum threshold obtained from the adaptive thresholding …

The aim of this study was to compare the results of whole-body MRI using a recently
developed rolling table platform with findings of nuclear scintigraphy in patients with bone …
