FDG-PET/CT Limited to the Thorax and Upper Abdomen for Staging and Management of Lung Cancer.
(2016-01)
Purpose This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of [F-18]-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) of the chest/upper abdomen compared to the generally performed scan from head ...
The Predictive Value of Early In-Treatment <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT Response to Chemotherapy in Combination with Bevacizumab in Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
(2017-08)
18 F-FDG PET/CT is potentially applicable to predict response to chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: In 25 patients with advanced nonsquamous ...

(2018-06)
Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the long-term outcome of a personalized dosimetry approach in Graves' disease aiming to render patients euthyroid from a planned thyroid absorbed dose of ...
Synovial Sarcoma of the Thyroid Gland, Diagnostic Pitfalls and Clinical Management.
(2018-09)
Background/aim Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma that tends to affect young adults. There are few reports on primary synovial sarcoma of the thyroid and the aim of this study was to document the clinical and ...
Tumor Delineation and Quantitative Assessment of Glucose Metabolic Rate within Histologic Subtypes of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Using Dynamic <sup>18</sup>F Fluorodeoxyglucose PET.
(2017-05)
Purpose To assess whether dynamic fluorine 18 ( 18 F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has added value over static 18 F-FDG PET for tumor delineation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) radiation ...

Aims To report the relapse pattern of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligorecurrent nodal prostate cancer (PCa).Materials and methods PCa patients with ≤3 lymph nodes (N1/M1a) at the time of recurrence were ...
The potential of <sup>223</sup>Ra and <sup>18</sup>F-fluoride imaging to predict bone lesion response to treatment with <sup>223</sup>Ra-dichloride in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(2017-10)
Purpose The aims of this study were to calculate bone lesion absorbed doses resulting from a weight-based administration of 223 Ra-dichloride, to assess the relationship between those doses and corresponding 18 F-fluoride ...
<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT Optimizes Treatment in <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i> Bacteremia and Is Associated with Reduced Mortality.
(2017-09)
Metastatic infection is an important complication of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). Early diagnosis of metastatic infection is crucial, because specific treatment is required. However, metastatic infection can be ...
