Purpose Recent advances in imaging, use of prognostic indices, and molecular profiling
techniques have the potential to improve disease characterization and outcomes in lymphoma. …

METhOD All patients had suspected hyperparathyroidism based on dc vated levels of serum
calcium and either inappropriately high serum parathormone levels or clinical suggestion of …

A study was performed with the aim of investigating some of the methodological factors
affecting the ability of quantitative 2-[ 18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission …

Purpose To determine if PET reporting criteria for the Response Adapted Treatment in Hodgkin
Lymphoma (RATHL) trial could enable satisfactory agreement to be reached between ‘…

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a whole-body imaging technique using 18 fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG), whose uptake is increased in tumor cells. Published studies have …

Purpose A number of recent publications have proposed that a family of image-derived indices,
called texture features, can predict clinical outcome in patients with cancer. However, the …

International guidelines recommend that positron emission tomography-computed tomography
(PET-CT) should replace CT in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The aims of this study were to …

Molecular advances will allow a biological approach to targeted therapies for neurofibromas,
malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours and schwannomas. Knowledge of the …

Respiratory motion can adversely affect both PET and CT acquisitions. Respiratory gating
allows an acquisition to be divided into a series of motion-reduced bins according to the …

Purpose The detection of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) in patients
with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) remains a clinical challenge. The purpose of this study was to …
