Several patients experience unexplained persistent symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 recovering. We aimed at evaluating if 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) was able to demonstrate a inflammatory process. Recovered adult COVID-19 patients, who complained persisting for more than 30 days during the follow-up visits, were invited participate in study. Patients fulfilling inclusion criteria imaged by [18F]FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]FDG-PET/CT). Whole-body...
Abstract Background PET with radiolabeled amino acids is used in the preoperative evaluation of patients glial neoplasms. This study aimed to assess role [11C]methionine (MET) assessing molecular features, tumor extent, and prognosis newly diagnosed lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) surgically treated. Methods One hundred fifty-three a new diagnosis grade 2/3 glioma who underwent surgery at our Institution were imaged preoperatively using [11C]MET PET/CT retrospectively included. images...
Accurate classification of histological subtypes non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is essential in the era precision medicine, yet current invasive techniques are not always feasible and may lead to clinical complications. This study presents a multi-stage intermediate fusion approach classify NSCLC from CT PET images. Our method integrates two modalities at different stages feature extraction, using voxel-wise exploit complementary information across varying abstraction levels while...
Abstract This review aims to take a journey into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. To this scope, broad overview AI applications in field nuclear medicine and thorough exploration deep learning (DL) implementations cancer diagnosis therapy through PET imaging will be presented. We firstly describe behind-the-scenes use for image generation, including acquisition (event positioning, noise reduction though time-of-flight...
Abstract Background The value of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) in thyroid carcinoma (TC) is still unknown. We aimed to test the potential complementary role PSMA expression and 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([ F]FDG) uptake on PET/CT as biomarkers for TC outcome prediction. Materials methods From a retrospective cohort patients we selected those fulfilling following inclusion/exclusion criteria: thyroidectomy our Institution, available primary tumor tissue immunostaining, [...
Abstract Background Although many well-known factors affect the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), it remains most requested and used parameter, especially among clinicians, despite other parameters, such as corrected for lean body mass metabolic tumor volume, being proven to be less sensitive same factors, more robust, eventually informative. This study intends provide robust evidence regarding diagnostic prognostic of SUVmax in a large cohort subjects with suspected malignant lung...
