On the Use of Artificial Intelligence for Dosimetry of Radiopharmaceutical Therapies
Nuklearmedizin. 2023 Oct 12. doi: 10.1055/a-2179-6872. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoutine clinical dosimetry along with radiopharmaceutical therapies is key for future treatment personalization. However, dosimetry is considered complex and time-consuming with various challenges amongst the required steps within the dosimetry workflow. The general workflow for image-based dosimetry consists of quantitative imaging, the segmentation of organs and tumors, fitting of the time-activity-curves, and the conversion to absorbed dose. This work reviews the potential and advantages of the use of artificial intelligence to improve ...

Machine learning methods for tracer kinetic modelling
Nuklearmedizin. 2023 Oct 11. doi: 10.1055/a-2179-5818. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTracer kinetic modelling based on dynamic PET is an important field of Nuclear Medicine for quantitative functional imaging. Yet, its implementation in clinical routine has been constrained by its complexity and computational costs. Machine learning poses an opportunity to improve modelling processes in terms of arterial input function prediction, the prediction of kinetic modelling parameters and model selection in both clinical and preclinical studies while reducing processing time. Moreover, it can help improving kinetic modelling data ...

Rofo. 2023 Oct 10. doi: 10.1055/a-2178-2846. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe process of implementing early detection of lung cancer with low-dose CT (LDCT) in Germany has gained significant momentum in recent years. It is expected that the ordinance of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) on the early detection of lung cancer, which has been commented on by the professional societies, will come into effect by the end of 2023. Based on this regulation, the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) will set up a program for early lung cancer detection with LDCT i...

Normal values for adult thyroid volume on ultrasound - where do they come from and how should they be evaluated?
Laryngorhinootologie. 2023 Oct 9. doi: 10.1055/a-2144-4093. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe upper limit for the thyroid volume is 18 ml for women and 25 ml for men. These reference values are used and taught in many clinics and practices across several disciplines. The thyroid volume is a relevant factor for the treatment course. But where do the standard values for thyroid volumes come from, what kind of studies have been carried out to establish them? Should these upper limits be used as an universal standard in clinical routine, and which factors can influence the physiological organ size? The following article is ded...
