18F-Florbetaben: a potential nuclear protagonist in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis
ConclusionsThe correct use of PET with 18F-florbetaben can allow to obtain an earlier diagnosis of immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis allowing to anticipate the initiation of specific therapies and, possibly, increasing patient survival. (Source: Clinical and Translational Imaging)

Global research trends in COVID-19 with MRI and PET/CT: a scoping review with bibliometric and network analyses
ConclusionCOVID-19 pandemic is still spreading worldwide, and the knowledge about its different facets continues advancing. MRI and PET/CT are being used in more than 50% of the selected studies; research trends span seven categories, no only the diagnostic but others like socio-economic impact and pathogenesis Developed countries had an advantage by having hospitals with more resources, including MRI and PET/CT facilities in the same institution to supplement basic assessment in patients with COVID-19.

The clinical utility of 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography in guiding myocardial revascularisation
ConclusionThe current evidence is insufficient for clinicians in LMIC or remote areas in HIC without access to catheterisation laboratories to refrain from referring patients for viability imaging. (Source: Clinical and Translational Imaging)

[68Ga]-Pentixafor PET/CT imaging of lymphoproliferative malignancies
ConclusionOur results demonstrate [68Ga]-Pentixafor uptake in different subtypes of NHL and CLL; however, the potential complementary role of [68Ga]-Pentixafor PET/CT towards personalized diagnostic concepts remains yet to be determined by further studies.

Heterogeneity of estrogen receptor based on 18F-FES PET imaging in breast cancer patients
Conclusion18F-FES PET imaging is expected to non-invasively and comprehensively characterize inter-patient and intra-patient heterogeneity of ER, and reveal the correlation between this heterogeneity and clinical decision-making. (Source: Clinical and Translational Imaging)

Performance of 18F-FDG-PET/CT as a next step in the search of occult primary tumors for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions18F-FDG PET/CT is useful as a next step in the search of occult primary tumors in HNSCC-UP patients defined by endoscopy with or without CT/MRI. However, in light of the high false-positive proportion, confirmatory histological investigations should be viewed as necessary practice upon positive PET/CT findings.

68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI for primary lymph node staging of intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy
ConclusionBoth imaging techniques have high specificity for the detection of nodal metastases of PCa.68Ga-PSMA PET/CT has the advantage of being more sensitive and making it possible to detect distant metastases during the same examination. These modalities may play a complementary role in the diagnosis of PCa. Given the paucity of data and methodological limitations of the included studies, large scale trials are necessary to confirm their clinical values. (Source: Clinical and Translational Imaging)

The role of 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics in lymphoma
Conclusions18F-FDG PET/CT textural and radiomic features may be useful tools in lymphoma for histological prediction, prognostic assessment and bone marrow involvement definition. Further studies are needed to integrate radiomics in clinical multi-omic models. (Source: Clinical and Translational Imaging)

PET-guided gamma knife radiosurgery in brain tumors: a brief review
ConclusionsAlthough not enough studies were available on the role of PET imaging for guiding GKRS, it would seem that the integration of PET data into GKRS treatment planning may represent an important step toward further developments in radiosurgery, especially GKRS. Yet, there is no definite indication for pre-GKRS PET imaging; however, most of the studies used PET imaging when there were lesions with an ill-defined border in MRI. It seems that [11C]MET PET might provide more accurate imaging data than 2-[18F]FDG for lesion targeting; however, studies with head to head comparison of these two modalities are needed. (Sour...

State of the art of 18F-FDG PET/CT application in inflammation and infection: a guide for image acquisition and interpretation
ConclusionsCurrently, [18F]FDG PET/CT in oncology is globally accepted and standardized in main diagnostic algorithms for neoplasms. In recent years, the ever-closer collaboration among different European associations has tried to overcome the absence of a standardization also in the field of inflammation and infections. The collaboration of several nuclear medicine centers with a long experience in this field, as well as among different AIMN focus groups represents a further attempt in this direction. We hope that this document will be the basis for a “common nuclear physicians’ language” throughout all the country....
