Simple Summary
[¹⁸F]FDG-PET/CT is a new imaging modality used in routine practice for many tumor diseases. The combination of morphological and metabolic information has demonstrated superiority over pure morphological imaging, significantly impacting treatment decisions and patient outcomes in many tumor entities. However, the role of [¹⁸F]FDG-PET...
Objective
Patients with impaired kidney function are at elevated risk for nephrotoxicity and hematotoxicity from peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PPRT) for advanced neuroendocrine tumors. Somatostatin receptor (SSR)-PET/CT imaging is the method of choice to identify sufficient SSR expression as a prerequisite for PRRT. Therefore, our study ai...
Purpose:
The consideration of radiation exposure is becoming more important in metastatic melanoma due to improved prognoses. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in comparison to computed tomography (CT) with 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/C...
Besides tremendous treatment success in advanced melanoma patients, the rapid development of oncologic treatment options comes with increasingly high costs and can cause severe life-threatening side effects. For this purpose, predictive baseline biomarkers are becoming increasingly important for risk stratification and personalized treatment planni...
Incidental findings of thyroid lesions, some of which show increased FDG uptake, are common in whole-body FDG PET/CT imaging of oncological patients. As metastases to the thyroid are extremely rare, it is often a matter of debate, whether thyroid lesions should be considered as benign goiter or evaluated further. Here, we present the case of a 65-y...
ObjectiveSPECT/CT with 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin (MAA) is generally used for diagnostic work-up prior to transarterial radioembolization (TARE) to exclude shunts and to provide additional information for treatment stratification and dose calculation. C-arm CT is used for determination of lobular vascular supply and assessment of parenchymal blo...
