Abstract Purpose Build machine learning (ML) models able to predict pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer (BC) patients based on conventional and radiomic signatures extracted from baseline [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT. Material methods Primary tumor the most significant lymph node metastasis were manually segmented PET/CT of 52 newly diagnosed BC patients. Clinical parameters, NAC semiquantitative PET parameters collected. The standard reference...
Background: This study aims to investigate stability and reproducibility of radiomics biomarkers for adrenal lesion characterization across different software packages. Methods: Unenhanced CT images from patients with tumors were analyzed. Radiomic features extracted using SOPHIA Radiomics SIBEX software. The datasets underwent Z-score normalization. Statistical comparisons made two-sample t-tests Spearman correlation coefficients. Three classification models—Logistic Regression, Linear...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive powerful modern clinical technique that extensively used for the high-resolution of soft tissues. To obtain high-definition pictures tissues or whole organism this enhanced by use contrast agents. Gadolinium-based agents have an excellent safety profile. However, over last two decades, some specific concerns surfaced. Mn(II) has different favorable physicochemical characteristics and good toxicity profile, which makes it alternative to...
A lyophilized kit formulation for the efficient labelling of lipiodol with generator-produced rhenium-188 is described. The preliminary preparation lipophilic complex bis-(diethyldithiocarbamato)nitrido (188ReN-DEDC) was carried out using a two-vial containing S-methyl-N-methyl-dithiocarbazate, SnCl2 and sodium oxalate in first vial, diethyldithiocarbamate carbonate buffer second vial. After mixing reaction solution lipiodol, 188ReN-DEDC quantitatively extracted retained by this hydrophobic...
Academic journals have published a large number of papers in the therapeutic nuclear medicine (NM) research field last 10 years. Despite this, literature analysis has never before been made to point out interest radionuclides (RNs). For this reason, present study aims specifically analyze output on radiometals from 2008 2018, with intent quantify and identify global trends scientific emphasize interdisciplinary nature field. The data search targeted conventional (131I, 90Y, 177Lu, 188Re,...
Abstract How to differentiate with MRI-based techniques testicular germ (TGCTs) and non-germ cell tumors (TNGCTs) is still under debate Radiomics may be the turning key. Our purpose investigate performance of signatures for preoperative prediction neoplasm histology. The aim twofold: (i), differentiating TGCTs TNGCTs status (ii) seminomas (SGCTs) from non-seminomatous (NSGCTs). Forty-two patients pathology-proven neoplasms referred pre-treatment MRI, were retrospectively enrolled. Thirty-two...
Abstract Objectives In this study, we developed a radiomic signature for the classification of benign lipid-poor adenomas, which may potentially help clinicians limit number unnecessary investigations in clinical practice. Indeterminate adrenal lesions and malignant nature exhibit different values key radiomics features. Methods Patients who had available histopathology reports non-contrast-enhanced CT scan were included study. Radiomics feature extraction was done after contoured. The...
The authors have successfully built and characterised a small animal PET based on 4 rotating detectors with spatial resolution <2 mm over its field of view sensitivity 640 cps//spl mu/Ci at the centre. scanner is four matrices 400 YAP:Ce finger crystals (2/spl times/2/spl times/30 mm/sup 3/ each) coupled to Position Sensitive PhotoMultipliers (Hamamatsu R2486-06.) now applied two high collimators opposite detectors, hence realising an integrated PET-SPECT for animals. are made lead 20 long,...
A new scintillation detector system has been designed for application in high resolution positron emission tomography (PET). The is a bundle of small YAlO/sub 3/:Ce (YAP) crystals closely packed (0.2/spl times/0.2/spl times/3.0 cm/sup 3/), coupled to position sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT). preliminary results obtained spatial resolution, time energy and efficiency 2 such detectors working coincidence are presented. These 1.2 mm the FWHM 2.0 ns 20% at 511 keV. measured (44/spl...
Our purpose was to evaluate the safety profile and biodistribution behavior in healthy human volunteers of new myocardial perfusion tracer bis[(dimethoxypropylphosphanyl)ethyl]ethoxyethylamine <i>N,N′</i>-bis(ethoxyethyl)dithiocarbamato nitrido technetium(V) (<sup>99m</sup>Tc-N-DBODC). <b>Methods:</b> Ten male were injected with <sup>99m</sup>Tc-N-DBODC under both stress rest conditions. Anterior posterior planar γ-camera images collected at 5, 30, 60, 240, 1,440 min after injection, organ...
