FDG PET/CT: EANM procedure guidelines for tumour imaging: version 2.0.
(2015-02)
The purpose of these guidelines is to assist physicians in recommending, performing, interpreting and reporting the results of FDG PET/CT for oncological imaging of adult patients. PET is a quantitative imaging technique ...
18F-FDG PET/CT in Detecting Metastatic Infection in Children.
(2016-04)
Purpose of the report Metastatic infection is a severe complication of bacteremia with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET combined with CT (FDG PET/CT) ...
Active surveillance in metastatic renal-cell carcinoma: a prospective, phase 2 trial.
(2016-09)
Background A subset of patients with metastatic renal-cell carcinoma show indolent growth of metastases. Because of the toxicity and non-curative nature of systemic therapy, some of these patients could benefit from initial ...
Response Monitoring with [18F]FLT PET and Diffusion-Weighted MRI After Cytotoxic 5-FU Treatment in an Experimental Rat Model for Colorectal Liver Metastases.
(2017-08)
PURPOSE:The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and 3'-dexoy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) as early biomarkers ...
Is surveillance imaging in pediatric patients treated for localized rhabdomyosarcoma useful? The European experience.
Background After the completion of therapy, patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) are subjected to intensive radiological tumor surveillance. However, the clinical benefit of this surveillance is unclear. This ...
Patient preferences for whole-body MRI or conventional staging pathways in lung and colorectal cancer: a discrete choice experiment.
(2019-07)
Objectives To determine the importance placed by patients on attributes associated with whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) and standard cancer staging pathways and ascertain drivers of preference. Methods Patients recruited to two ...
The diagnostic value of 18F-FDG-PET/CT and MRI in suspected vertebral osteomyelitis - a prospective study.
(2018-05)
PURPOSE:The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing vertebral ...
Imaging of testicular germ cell tumours.
(E-MED LTD, 2006-09-07)
In testicular germ cell tumour (GCT), imaging plays a central role in assessment of tumour bulk, sites of metastases, monitoring response to therapy, surgical planning and accurate assessment of disease at relapse. The ...
Whole-body MRI compared with standard pathways for staging metastatic disease in lung and colorectal cancer: the Streamline diagnostic accuracy studies.
(2019-12)
Background Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging is advocated as an alternative to standard pathways for staging cancer. Objectives The objectives were to compare diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, patient acceptability, ...
High-Level Clonal FGFR Amplification and Response to FGFR Inhibition in a Translational Clinical Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-08-01)
UNLABELLED: FGFR1 and FGFR2 are amplified in many tumor types, yet what determines response to FGFR inhibition in amplified cancers is unknown. In a translational clinical trial, we show that gastric cancers with high-level ...
