The purpose of our study is to determine if there a relationship between dose deposition measured by PET/MRI and individual lesion response yttrium-90 (90Y) microsphere radioembolization. 26 patients undergoing lobar treatment with 90Y microspheres underwent within 66 h had follow-up imaging available. Adequate visualization tumor was available in 24 patients, contours were drawn on simultaneously acquired data. Dose volume histograms (DVHs) extracted from maps, which generated using...

Hand and wrist injuries are common reasons for musculoskeletal-related emergency department visits. Imaging is essential evaluating many of these injuries. In most cases, conventional radiographs provide sufficient information to guide the treating clinician. This review focuses on seven variants diagnosis hand addition radiographs, appropriate use CT, MRI, bone scan, ultrasound discussed. The American College Radiology Appropriateness Criteria evidence-based guidelines specific clinical...

Abstract Background mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are known to provide an immune response seen on FDG PET studies. However, the time course of this metabolic is unknown. We here present a temporal vaccination in oncology patients undergoing standard care PET. Methods 262 were included analysis. 231 had at least one dose vaccine while 31 not been vaccinated. The SUVmax lymph nodes ipsilateral was compared contralateral obtain absolute change (ΔSUVmax). Results ΔSUVmax more significant shorter times...

The aim of the current study was to describe risk hepatotoxicity for patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors undergoing peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) a very high liver tumor burden, defined as involving more than 75% liver. Methods: We conducted retrospective analysis 371 who received at least 1 cycle 177Lu-DOTATATE Mayo Clinic advanced tumors. identified 15 total involvement on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and either contrast-enhanced abdominal MRI or dual-phase CT...

The field of theranostics is a new nuclear medicine tool being utilized in the treatment different types cancers. It couples receptor-specific based imaging predicting and guiding response to radionuclide therapies. For example, somatostatin-receptor (Gallium; 68Ga-dotatate scan) now use with radiolabeled somatostatin analog (peptide receptor therapy PRRT - Lutetium; 177Lu-Dotatate) for neuroendocrine tumors that express receptors. United States Food Drug Administration approved...

Understanding the effects of different growth factors on cancer metastasis will enable researchers to develop effective post-surgery therapeutic strategies stop spread cancer. Conventional Boyden chamber assays evaluate cell motility in studies require high volumes reagents and are impractical for high-throughput analysis. A microfluidic device was designed arrayed assaying prostate migration towards factors. The created with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) featured two wells connected by 10...

Purpose/Objectives: Multi-parametric advanced MR and FDG-PET imaging may be important biomarkers for prognosis as well distinguishing recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) from treatment-related changes. Methods/Materials: We retrospectively evaluated 30 patients treated with chemoradiation GBM underwent confirmation of tumor progression. MRI metrics were their association 6-month overall (OS) progression-free survival (PFS) based on pathological, radiographic, clinical criteria. Results: 17 males 13...

Purpose: To develop a care process model for the delivery of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with lutetium-177 (177Lu)-Dotatate treatment somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Methods: A multidisciplinary, structured PRRT was established. Over last 9 months, meetings were held bi-weekly to discuss logistics clinical trials. Meetings are still regularly at Mayo Clinic Florida plans regarding commercially available treatments. The...

Breast lymphoscintigraphy with <sup>99m</sup>Tc-sulfur colloid is frequently performed before breast-conserving surgery to delineate drainage a sentinel node. Tracer injection for can be painful. Our aims were determine whether administering solution of buffered lidocaine immediately could both reduce the patients’ pain and increase nuclear medicine technologists’ satisfaction performing procedure. <b>Methods:</b> A scale survey was obtained from patients undergoing breast or without...

There is scant insight into the presence of nuclear medicine (NM) and radiology (NR) programs on social media.Our purpose was to assess Twitter engagement by academic NM/NR in United States.We measured community, accounting for various certification pathways. The at both department program director level identified. Tweets were cross-referenced against potential high-yield NM- or NR-related hashtags, tabulated a binary level. A brief survey done identify obstacles benefits use faculty.For...
