PURPOSE: Given the potential risk of motion artifacts, acquisition time reduction is desirable in pediatric Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of predicted full-acquisition-time imag...
INTRODUCTION: Pre-clinical molecular imaging, particularly with mice, is an essential part of drug and radiopharmaceutical development. There remain ethical challenges to reduce, refine and replace animal imaging where possible.
Deep learning approaches are playing an ever-increasing role throughout diagnostic medicine, especially in neuroradiology, to solve a wide range of problems such as segmentation, synthesis of missing sequences, and image quality improvement. Of parti...
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The majority of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancer types. The Cox proportional hazards model (CPH),...
INTRODUCTION: Neuroinflammation evaluation after acute ischemic stroke is a promising option for selecting an appropriate post-stroke treatment strategy. To assess neuroinflammation in vivo, translocator protein PET (TSPO PET) can be used. However, t...

The recent introduction of hybrid positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) as a promising imaging modality for breast cancer assessment has prompted fervent research activity on its clinical applications. The current knowledg...
BACKGROUND: The Compton camera (CC) has great potential in nuclear medicine imaging due to the high detection efficiency and the ability to simultaneously detect multi-energy radioactive sources. However, the finite resolution of the detectors will d...
