PET probe-guided surgery: applications and clinical protocol
INTRODUCTION Parallel to the advances in diagnostic imaging using positron emission tomography (PET), and availability of new systemic treatment options, the treatment paradigm in oncology has shifted towards more aggressive therapeutic interventions to include cytoreductive techniques and metastasectomies. Intraoperative localization of PET positive recurrent/metastatic lesions can be facilita...
متن کاملPET Probe-Guided Surgery in Patients with Breast Cancer: Proposal for a Methodological Approach.
BACKGROUND Although it is valuable for detecting distant metastases, identifying recurrence, and evaluating responses to chemotherapy, the role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in assessing locoregional nodal status for initial staging of breast cancer has not yet been well-defined in clinical practice. In the current report, we describ...
متن کاملMR Guided Focused Ultrasound surgery: New Clinical Applications
Tissue destruction by thermal ablation occurs when the targeted delivery of heat or cold causes a rapid change in temperature (>55°C for heat or <−20–50°C for cold) in the local tissue environment. Imaging can be used to localize and target the thermal effects to the target/tumor for treatment, control the energy deposition, and assess treatment response. Therapeutic applications of ultrasound ...
متن کاملPET and MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery for hypoxic-tissue ablation combined with radiotherapy in solid tumors
Background: The rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mPET), 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a customized MRI-compatible foc...
متن کاملDigital protocol for reference-based guided surgery and immediate loading: a prospective clinical study.
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of a computer-aided three-dimensional planning protocol in combination with previously inserted reference mini-implants and CAD/CAM technology to restore completely edentulous patients. The study evaluated implant and superstructure survival in a prospective clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS The plan protocol called for treatment of 35 patients who were...
