Brain findings on FDG PET-MRI body sequences that include the head
Conclusions FDG PET-MRI imaging is a rapidly evolving modality that is most commonly employed for cancer evaluation. The standardized base of skull to mid thigh imaging may miss many important pathologies that are discovered even with MRI body sequences. We propose that PET-MRI body sequences that include the head may show added value in the management of patients.

Early detection of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity using the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) targeted radiotracer, 99mTc-RP805.
Conclusions Increases in myocardial MMP activity precede clinically used echocardiographic indices for early detection of cardiotoxicity, including ejection fraction and global myocardial strain. Therefore, 99mTc-RP805 may serve as a promising approach for early detection of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity when combined with SPECT/CT imaging.
