Whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging in lymphoma
The current evidence regarding the usefulness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in lymphoma is reviewed. DWI is capable of combining anatomical and functional information and is becoming a valuable tool in oncology, in particular for staging purposes. DWI may prove to be a useful biomarker in clinical decision making for patients with lymphoma. Large-scaled prosp...
متن کاملMultislice CT in imaging the liver
The objective of this paper is to address the dramatic impact of multislice CT (MSCT) in imaging the liver. Standard helical (spiral) CT has finally allowed for scanning the majority of the liver during the critical portal venous phase (PVP). This is often referred to as the ‘optimal temporal window’. In general, it occurs following a 70 s scan delay and is coincidental with the maximal deliver...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging in Breast Cancer: From Whole-Body PET/CT to Dedicated Breast PET
Positron emission tomography (PET), with or without integrated computed tomography (CT), using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is based on the principle of elevated glucose metabolism in malignant tumors, and its use in breast cancer patients is frequently being investigated. It has been shown useful for classification, staging, and response monitoring, both in primary and recurrent disease. Howev...
متن کاملNon-invasive multislice CT coronary imaging.
Correspondence to: Pim J de Feyter, MD, PhD, Erasmus Medical Center, Department of Cardiology and Radiology, Thoraxcenter Bd 410, PO Box 2040, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] _________________________ M ultislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is a promising noninvasive technique for the detection of coronary stenoses. The advent of the tech...
متن کاملWhole-body dynamic imaging with continuous bed motion PET/CT
Most dynamic imaging protocols require long scan times that are beyond the range of what can be supported in a routine clinical environment and suffer from various difficulties related to step and shoot imaging techniques. In this short communication, we describe continuous bed motion (CBM) imaging techniques to create clinically relevant 15 min whole-body dynamic PET imaging protocols. We also...
