The role of [18  F]FDOPA PET as an adjunct to conventional MRI in the diagnosis of aggressive glial lesions
CONCLUSION: Dynamic [18 F]FDOPA PET provides a similar diagnostic accuracy as contrast enhancement in MRI to identify the aggressiveness of suspected glial lesions at diagnosis. Both methods, however, are complementary and [18 F]FDOPA PET may be a useful additional tool in equivocal cases.PMID:38637354 | DOI:10.1007/s00259-024-06720-y (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Annotating the Role of < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG PET/CT in Fibromatoses: A Benign Masquerader of Malignancies-Is It Really an Advantageous Tool?
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 May;58(3):140-146. doi: 10.1007/s13139-024-00846-5. Epub 2024 Feb 14.ABSTRACTFibromatoses are a heterogeneous group of benign proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts which have a high predilection for recurrence and local invasion, especially deep fibromatoses or desmoid fibromatosis. 18F-FDG PET/CT, the workhorse of oncological imaging in nuclear medicine, can be employed to figure out the nature and aggressiveness of the lesions and various sites of involvement and to monitor treatment response to systemic therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors in case of deep or desmoid fibromatoses wh...

First Local Experience of Intra-Cavitary Yttrium-90 Citrate Colloid Irradiation via Ommaya Reservoir for Refractory Cystic Craniopharyngioma: a Case Report
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 May;58(3):129-139. doi: 10.1007/s13139-024-00838-5. Epub 2024 Jan 16.ABSTRACTCraniopharyngioma is uncommon benign intracranial tumour that can be cured by surgical resection followed by conventional radiotherapy. However, its anatomical localisation makes the treatment hazardous or impossible. This case report aims to discuss the first local experience of using beta-emitting Yttrium-90 radioisotope in treating a patient with refractory cystic craniopharyngioma. A 43-year-old male who has underlying refractory cystic craniopharyngioma complicated with visual impairment and panhypopituitarism was r...
