The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic value of bone marrow involvement (BMI) assessed by baseline PET-CT (PET(0)-BMI) in treatment-naïve patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). All patients from a single centre diagnosed as DLBCL between 2005 and 2014 had data extracted from staging PET-CT (PET(0)-CT), bone marrow biopsy (BMB), and treatment records. The PET(3)-CT (PE...

background: pet/ct imaging using [18f]-fdg is utilized in clinical oncology for tumor detecting, staging and responding to therapy procedures. essential consideration must be taken for radiation staff due to high gamma radiation in pet/ct and cyclotron center. the aim of this study was to assess the staff exposure regarding whole body and organ dose and to evaluate environment dose in pet/ct an...

used pet bottles disposal is an unsolved environmental problem, and there are many efforts for finding an applicable solution for it. many researches have showed that the degradation rate of the polymers increase with the smaller size of fibers. this work was carried out to convert used pet bottles into nanofibers by melt-electrospinning method. uncolored, washed and chipped pet bottles and the...

Following PET/CT, PET/MR is the newest diagnostic whole-body hybrid imaging modality. Simultaneous PET and MR data acquisition requires novel technical solutions and offers new diagnostic opportunities. Attenuation correction (AC) and motion correction (MC) of PET data are current hot topics in PET/MR hybrid imaging research. The added diagnostic value of PET/MR in whole-body imaging is current...

BACKGROUND We compared the diagnostic accuracy of integrated positron-emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) with that of CT alone, that of PET alone, and that of conventional visual correlation of PET and CT in determining the stage of disease in non-small-cell lung cancer. METHODS In a prospective study, integrated PET-CT was performed in 50 patients with proven or suspected...

UNLABELLED Simultaneous PET and MRI using new hybrid PET/MRI systems promises optimal spatial and temporal coregistration of structural, functional, and molecular image data. In a pilot study of 10 patients with intracranial masses, the feasibility of tumor assessment using a PET/MRI system comprising lutetium oxyorthosilicate scintillators coupled to avalanche photodiodes was evaluated, and qu...

روش الکتریکی به عنوان یک بررسی ژئوفیزیکی می‌تواند پارامترهای زمین‌شناسی شامل خردشدگی، شاخص دگرسانی توده سنگ، درصد اشباع، کیفیت آب زیرزمینی و . را خوبی نمایش دهد. این پارامترها نقش مهمی در طبقه‌بندی مهندسی سنگ از طریق تأثیر بر دو (RQD) مقاومت (GSI)، کانه‌زایی عناصر نیز نحوه حفاری دارند. مقاله با استفاده سونداژ قائم لایه‌های زیرسطحی تعیین متعاقباً مذکور توده‌سنگ‌های آذرآواری آنومالی III کانسار نار...

Hybrid imaging devices combining Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) with Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging (MRI) have been shown to possess a great potential for small animal studies. Recently PET/MR systems have also been built for human applications. Here we present an evaluation of the first hybrid PET/MR device, which has the capabilities to perform simultaneous PET/MR acquisitions of the human br...
