BACKGROUND: The presence of a gap between adjacent detector blocks in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners introduces a partial loss of projection data, which can degrade the image quality and quantitative accuracy of reconstructed PET images....
. Pixelated detectors with single-ended readout are routinely used by commercial positron emission tomography scanners owing to their good energy and timing resolution and optimized manufacturing, but they typically do not provide depth-of-interactio...
Isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant gliomas are lethal brain cancers that impair quality of life in young adults. Although less aggressive than glioblastomas, IDH-mutant gliomas invariably progress to incurable disease with unpredictable recurrence. A be...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a significant challenge due to its progressive neurodegenerative impact, particularly within an aging global demographic. This underscores the critical need for developing sophisticated diagnostic tools for its ear...
Amyloid- positron emission tomography can reflect the Amyloid- protein deposition in the brain and thus serves as one of the golden standards for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. However, its practical cost and high radioactivity hinder its applic...
Low-dose PET offers a valuable means of minimizing radiation exposure in PET imaging. However, the prevalent practice of employing additional CT scans for generating attenuation maps ( -map) for PET attenuation correction significantly elevates radia...

AIMS: Effective intervention for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is key for preventing dementia. As a neuroprotective agent, butylphthalide has the potential to treat MCI due to Alzheimer disease (AD). However, the pharmacological mechanism of butylp...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram combining F-FDG PET radiomics and clinical factors to non-invasively predict bone marrow involvement (BMI) in patients with lymphoma.
The advent of sophisticated image analysis techniques has facilitated the extraction of increasingly complex data, such as radiomic features, from various imaging modalities, including [F]FDG PET/CT, a well-established cornerstone of oncological imag...
