Abstract Background With the expansion of use neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC), both dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET CT) are promising methods for assessment tumor response during chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic accuracy DCE-MRI &18 F-FDG PE...

Recurrent rectal cancer presents a difficult problem for both patient and surgeon. One of the main factors influencing recurrence includes involved circumferential resection margins . In the diagnosis of pelvic recurrence, the most common symptom is pain, which may be perineal and/or radiate to the lower limbs. Usually computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance scanning are the imaging mod...

Oesophagogastric cancer is one of the top ten cancers diagnosed worldwide and, despite advancements in therapy, has a relatively poor prognosis compared to other common cancers, with a fiveyear survival of only 15-20%. This group of cancers includes tumours of the oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal junction, which have similar disease characteristics. The role of PETCT in oesophagogastric malign...

CT scanners can be used to image all parts of the body, some common uses in our hospital include; acute inflammatory bowel diseases; acute appendicitis, trauma including head, spine and skeletal trauma, renal diseases including congenital, inflammatory and neoplasti...

PET-CT misalignment has been reported as a source of artefacts in cardiac PET/CT due to a biased photon attenuation correction. Using the data from 28 cardiac PET/CT rest/stress examinations, PETCT misalignment was corrected using three different methods: manual registration, automatic mutual information based image registration and an emission-driven correction algorithm. The clinical effects ...
