Thyroid function after diagnostic 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine in children with neuroblastic tumors
ConclusionsThe prevalence of thyroid dysfunction does not seem to be increased in patients with neuroblastic tumors who received123I-MIBG combined with thyroid protection. Randomized controlled trials are required to investigate whether administration of123I-MIBG without thyroid protection is harmful to the thyroid gland. (Source: Annals of Nuclear Medicine)

99mTc-PSMA targeted robot-assisted radioguided surgery during radical prostatectomy and extended lymph node dissection of prostate cancer patients
ConclusionTc-99 m-PSMA-RG-RALRP is a promising technique for extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) during robotic surgery, which may shorten the operation time and reduce complication risks. If LN metastases is detected during surgery with PSMA-targeted probe, it may be an early indicator of PCa-spesific treatment planning. Tc-99 m-PSMA-I&S SPECT/CT is not as successful as Ga-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT for diagnosis of primary PCA lesions or LN metastases. (Source: Annals of Nuclear Medicine)

The role of Ga68 PSMA PET/CT imaging in Lu177 PSMA treatment planning in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
ConclusionIt was shown in the present study that Lu177 PSMA treatment response may be higher in CRPC patients with metastatic bone lesion with high baseline PSMA expression level, and better treatment response may be achieved in patients with lymph node metastases than in bone metastases.

An evaluation of the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma of extremities: PERCIST versus RECIST 1.1 criteria after long-term follow-up
ConclusionOur data indicate that the PERCIST criteria are significantly more sensitive than RECIST 1.1 criteria to identify more responders when evaluating the response of osteosarcoma to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. (Source: Annals of Nuclear Medicine)

Beads phantom for evaluating heterogeneity of SUV on 18F-FDG PET images
ConclusionsWe have developed the acrylic beads phantom for texture analysis that could represent heterogeneous18F-FDG distributions in various acquisition periods. Most texture features could discriminate homogeneous and heterogeneous18F-FDG distributions in the beads phantom images. (Source: Annals of Nuclear Medicine)

Time point-independent tumor positivity of 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT pre- and post-biopsy in high-risk prostate cancer
ConclusionsThe tumor positivity rate was consistently high for PSMA-PET/CT pre- and post-biopsy. A prior biopsy does not seem to affect the tumor positivity rate of PSMA-PET/CT in high-risk PCa. (Source: Annals of Nuclear Medicine)
