Practical Guide for Interpreting and Reporting Cardiac PET …
Nov 1, 2021 · One of the most exciting and useful advances in nuclear cardiology is the opportunity to measure myocardial blood flow (MBF) routinely as part of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with positron emission tomography (PET). Incorporating MBF into the MPI evaluation improves diagnosis and assessment of

Physiological and Normal Variations in FDG uptake: A pictorial …
May 1, 2017 · 980 Objectives: 18-F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scan, now considered the cornerstone of oncologic imaging requires knowledge of the normal patterns and variations in FDG distribution in the whole body. We aim to evaluate organ wise spectrum of distribution patterns, intensities and variations in normal physiological FDG uptake routinely ...
Management of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: The Standard of Care
Feb 1, 2022 · In the past decade, the management of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) underwent a paradigm shift toward the use of risk stratification with the goal of maximizing the benefit and minimizing the morbidity of radioiodine (131I) therapy. 131I therapy is guided by information derived from surgical histopathology, molecular markers, postoperative diagnostic radioiodine scintigraphy, and ...
Procedure Guideline for Therapy of Thyroid Disease with
Jun 1, 2002 · Definitions. 131 Iodine is a β-emitting radionuclide with a physical half-life of 8.1 d, a principal γ-ray of 364 KeV, and a principal β-particle with a maximum energy of 0.61 MeV, an average energy of 0.192 MeV, and a range in tissue of 0.8 mm.. Therapy means the oral administration of 131 I as sodium iodide.. Benign conditions include Graves’ disease (toxic diffuse goiter), toxic or ...
Stress/Rest Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities by Gated SPECT: …
The prognostic power of myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been demonstrated since planar imaging. We aimed to investigate whether gated SPECT retains this value in current cardiology if compared with a complete diagnostic work-up and with more recent prognostic indicators. Methods: We selected from our database a cohort of 676 consecutive inpatients ...
PET Evaluation of Lung Cancer - Journal of Nuclear Medicine
In the last hundred years, lung cancer has risen from a reportable disease to the most common cause of death from cancer in both men and women in developed countries ().When descriptions of lung cancer were published in 1912, there were only 374 reported cases ().In the 1950s, little more than the chest radiograph and sputum cytologic analysis were …
