Positron emission mammography (PEM): reviewing standardized semiquantitative method
PURPOSE To validate semiquantitative analysis of positron emission mammography (PEM). METHODS Fifty women with histologically confirmed breast lesions were retrospectively enrolled. Semiquantitative uptake values (4 methods), the maximum PEM uptake value (PUVmax), and the lesion-to-background (LTB) value (3 methods) were measured. LTB is a ratio of the lesion's PUVmax to the mean background; ...
متن کاملPositron Emission Tomographic Imaging in Stroke
T here is increased incidence of cognitive dysfunction after stroke. One in 10 develops vascular cognitive impairment after a single stroke and 1 in 3 after recurrent stroke. 1 Risk factors that predispose to atherosclerosis are also independently associated with an increased risk of dementia. In a review, we summarized the evidence supporting an increased risk of developing Alzheimer disease (...
متن کاملUsefulness of Positron Emission Tomographic Studies for Gliomas
Non-invasive positron emission tomography (PET) enables the measurement of metabolic and molecular processes with high sensitivity. PET plays a significant role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of brain tumors and predominantly detects brain tumors by detecting their metabolic alterations, including energy metabolism, amino acids, nucleic acids, and hypoxia. Glucose metabolic tracers ...
متن کاملQuantification of Regional Myocardial Blood Flow Using '3N-Ammonia and Reoriented Dynamic Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging
Background. Regional myocardial blood flow has been quantified using transaxial positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging and tracer kinetic modeling. However, the use of transaxial images limits the accuracy of regional partial volume corrections and the localization of the quantified regional flow values. The purpose of the present study was to overcome both problems by calculating regional...
