AIM: To assess the ability of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the likelihood of malignancy of pure ground-glass opacities (GGOs), using observations from computed tomography (CT) and 2-[F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron-emission...
BACKGROUND: We designed a deep learning model for assessing F-FDG PET/CT for early prediction of local and distant failures for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
Early detection and localization of prostate tumors pose a challenge to the medical community. Several imaging techniques, including PET, have shown some success. But no robust and accurate solution has yet been reached. This work aims to detect pros...
Dedicated brain positron emission tomography (PET) devices can provide higher-resolution images with much lower doses compared to conventional whole-body PET systems, which is important to support PET neuroimaging and particularly useful for the diag...
In this study, we summarize the clinical role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of patients with malignant uterine neoplasms, including leiomyosarcoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, adenosarcoma, uterine carcinosarcoma, and endometr...

BACKGROUND: The existence of saccharide-holmium complexes, containing mono or polysaccharide molecules, is an attractive hypothesis toward a radiation therapy (RT) with beta-emitters targeting high glucose metabolic human sites. To exam such hypothes...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether a convolutional neural network (CNN) can predict the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of lymph nodes in patients with cancer using the unenhanced CT images from a PET/CT examination,...
PURPOSE: A prospective study evaluating impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on renal function following PCNL using ethylenedicysteine (EC) renal scan. Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility, safety, diagnostic performance, and clinical impact of real-time intraprocedural F-FDG PET/CT-guided automated robotic arm-assisted biopsy of hypermetabolic marrow or bone lesions.
Clinical physiology and functional imaging
Oct 3, 2018
BACKGROUND: 18F-FDG-PET/CT has become a standard for assessing treatment response in patients with lymphoma. A subjective interpretation of the scan based on the Deauville 5-point scale has been widely adopted. However, inter-observer variability due...
