PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of a support vector machine (SVM) model built with texture features based on standard 2-[F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET in patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) at a volume ...

Idiopathic Parkinsons disease and atypical parkinsonian syndromes have similar symptoms at early disease stages, which makes the early differential diagnosis difficult. Positron emission tomography with F-FDG shows the ability to assess early neurona...
The differential diagnosis of atypical dementia remains difficult. The use of positron emission tomography (PET) still represents the gold standard for imaging diagnostics. According to the current evidence, however, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...

BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography has been in regular use at the Montreal Neurological Institute since 1972. The technique has been in constant evolution to incorporate advances in materials, imaging, and robotics technology. MRI-compatible el...
RATIONALE: Uterine fibroids are the most common pelvic solid tumors and common to 25% of women. F-fluorodexyglucose (F-FDG) is an energy metabolism tracer. Although FDG is generally concentrated in malignant lesions with high glucose metabolism, it c...
Multimodal classification methods using different modalities of imaging and non-imaging data have recently shown great advantages over traditional single-modality-based ones for diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as its prod...
The analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) scan image is challenging due to a high level of noise and a low resolution and also because differences between healthy and demented are very subtle. High dimensional classification methods based on...
