18 F-FDG PET/CT scanning is routinely performed to stage and evaluate the treatment response in many malignancies. Immunotherapy a rapidly growing option for cancers, both clinicians imaging specialists need be familiar with characteristics unique patients on this type of treatment. In particular, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) can detected early accurate identification critical reduce related morbidity incorrect interpretation malignant disease status. This pictorial essay reviews...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the relationship between total lesion PSMA (PSMA TL ), serum PSA, histopathological findings and biochemical recurrence (BCR) in patients with localised prostate cancer (PCa). Patients methods This retrospective study assessed men undergoing 68 Ga‐PSMA‐11 PET/CT for newly diagnosed or treatment‐naïve PCa to gland. Volumes of interest were manually mapped derive SUV max , mean PSMA‐avid tumour volume . was defined as product primary Spearman correlation tests...
A new 2-dimensional (2D) shear wave elastographic (SWE) device has been developed for the noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis. Guidelines on measurement acquisition parameters are not yet well established this technique. Our study aimed to assess 2D SWE variability and determine number measurements required per patient reliably stiffness. Two-dimensional was assessed in 55 patients with mixed-etiology chronic disease an Aplio 500 ultrasound system (Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation,...
The accuracy of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) imaging has been validated in the setting hepatitis C, however, fatty liver disease (FLD) less well-established. aim this study was to assess ARFI hepatic steatosis.Patients with biopsy proven or sonographically diagnosed steatosis were assessed for trends including: inter-operator concordance, interquartile range, failure rate, relationship between velocity and severity, concordance fibrosis scores.Three hundred forty-nine patients (53...
Abstract Background Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) is only 70% accurate. Reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism in parieto‐temporal posterior cingulate cortex may assist diagnosis. While widely accepted that 18 F‐fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( F‐FDG PET) has superior accuracy to CBF‐SPECT for AD, there are very limited head‐to‐head data from clinically relevant populations these studies relied on clinical as the reference standard. Aims To...
The accuracy of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) ultrasound compared to liver biopsy is higher when there concordance between F-scores two or more operators. We hypothesized that the first operator interquartile range/median-velocity ratio (IMR) <0.3 and skin-liver distance (SLD) <2.5 cm, greater interoperator a second not necessary.Two-operator ARFI measurements (F-score, SLD, IMR) were recorded for 927 consecutive patients. Chi-squared testing SLD cm versus ≥2.5 IMR ≥0.3 in each...
Suppression of physiological myocardial FDG activity is vital in patients undergoing PET/CT for assessment known or suspected cardiac sarcoidosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy suppression following a protocol change 24-h high fat very low carbohydrate (HFVLC) diet and prolonged fast.A retrospective review evaluation sarcoidosis was performed. Prior June-2018, were prepared with single high-fat meal followed by 12-18 h fast (group 1). After initiated HFVLC 2). Focal classified as...
The clinical utility of fatty meal stimulated cholescintigraphy particularly using a standardized formulation in patients with suspected functional gallbladder disorder has not been extensively studied. We present our seven-year experience an Ensure plus protocol.A retrospective study was performed on undergoing Plus for evaluation disorder. A ejection fraction (GBEF) <33% considered abnormal.Of the 173 evaluated, 57 (33%) had abnormal GBEF, 112 (65%) normal GBEF and 4 (2%) no visualization....
Objective: To investigate whether the change in Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) readings over time has value assessing clinical trajectory of patients with chronic liver disease.Design: All disease at least two ARFI stiffness measurements between August 2012-March 2016 were included our study.Demographics, etiology disease, BMI, blood test results, presence cirrhosis and complications obtained baseline follow up.The percentage scores per year was calculated for each...
