Comparison of bone SUV obtained from different SPECT/CT systems
CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that by expressing the quantitative value of SUVave of each region as a ratio to the SUVave of the humeral head, accumulation in the targeted bone can be compared even when the imaging acquisition and analysis methodsare different.PMID:38085833 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912602 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Lutetium-177-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy in patients with high volume metastatic prostate cancer prior to chemotherapy and new generation androgen deprivation therapy: Clinical Experience
CONCLUSION: Favorable results can be achived with second-line 177Lu-PSMA-617 treatment in terms of OS and PFS, especially in castration-resistant disease, when chemotherapy and new generation ADT's cannot be used.PMID:38085834 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912603 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Evaluation of Vitamin D3 levels and dietary management in patients with papillary thyroid cancer
CONCLUSION: It should be noted that VitD deficiency is presented in 70% of patients with PTC in our study sample. Dietary recommendation applied as lifestyle changes along with oral VitD3 supplementation, corrected VitD status to the recommended serum level. Although the data from our study is not sufficient to evaluate the VitD level as a prognostic factor for cancer, we have shown that it is necessary to examine its level along with an individual dietary approach for each patient with PTC.PMID:38085835 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912604 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Role of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in the detection of eosinophilic esophagitis
We report a patient with pathologically confirmed EoE whose disease was detected on fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). This case demonstrates the important role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis.PMID:38085836 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912605 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

Extrastriatal uptake related to dopaminergic dysfunction on 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 brain SPECT in patient with atypical meningioma
This study emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying causes of extrastriatal uptake from 99mTc-TRODAT-1 brain SPECT, which may indicate an invasive brain tumor.PMID:38085837 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912606 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)

 18 F-FDG PET/CT image of pericardial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor
Hell J Nucl Med. 2023 Dec 14:s002449912608. doi: 10.1967/s002449912608. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPericardial inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is very rare. Herein, we report fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings of pericardial IMT in a 57-year-old woman. On conventional image, it presented as a pericardial mass with heterogeneous delay enhancement. On 18F-FDG PET/CT image, this lesion had mild 18F-FDG uptake with a maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 1.84. The postoperative pathology supported a diagnosis of IMT. Our case hints us ...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 35-year-old woman received a surgery of sigmoid colon highly differentiated mucosal adenocarcinoma with greater omentum and peritoneum metastasis.The follow-up contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a new enhanced nodule on the transverse mesocolon about 6 months after surgery. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and 18F-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT were both performed to evaluate the potential lesions systematically, PET/CT images showed low 18F-F...

SPECT/CT SUV-based metrics: A promising diagnostic tool in classifying patientswith suspected transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis among the different Perugini grades?
CONCLUSION: Single photon emission computed tomography/CT SUV metrics could be complementary to planar scintigraphy in classifying patients among the different Perugini grades. The ratio SUVmaxmyo/SUVmaxliver was the only parameter with high affinity to differentiate patients with grade 1, as grade 0 or grade 2/3 for ATTR-CA.PMID:38085832 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912601 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine)
