In locally advanced cervical cancer, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography - computed tomography (PET/CT) has become important in the initial evaluation of disease extent. It is superior to other imaging modalities for lymph node status and distant metastasis. PET-defined cervical tumor volume predicts progression-free and overall survival. Higher FDG uptake in both primar...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an important non-invasive tool to help guide the drug discovery and development process. Positron-emitting–radiolabeled candidates represent for hunters gain insight into a drug's biodistribution target engagement of exploratory biologic targets interest. Recently, there have been several that incorporate acryloyl functional group due their ability form cov...

1. For 79 % of the radiopharmaceuticals, the new calculations gave a lower effective dose per unit administered activity than earlier estimated.” Should be “For 63 % of the radiopharmaceuticals, the new calculations gave a lower effective dose per unit administered activity than earlier estimated.” 2. “As a mean for all radiopharmaceuticals, the effective dose was 25 % lower.” Should be“As a me...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) utilizes an intravenously administered radiopharmaceutical to depict the distribution of nutritional blood flow in the myocardium. Perfusion imaging identifies areas of reduced myocardial blood flow associated with ischemia or scar. The relative regional distribution of perfusion can be assessed at rest, cardiovascular stress, or both. Imaging can also be perf...
