    Abstract : Bone is a remarkable multifunctional tissue with the ability to regenerate and remodel without generating any scar tissue. However, bone loss due to injury or diseases can be a great challenge and affect the patient significantly. Autologous bone grafting is commonly used throughout the world. READ MORE

    Abstract : Radionuclide therapy (RNT), is important for the treatment of certain benign and malignant diseases. 90Y-Zevalin™ therapy has become an established method of treating patients with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. READ MORE

  6. 4. Leukocyte scintigraphy, SPECT/CT and PET/CT in prosthetic joint infection

    Author : Johan Teiler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A known complication of arthroplasty is prosthetic joint infection (PJI). It can be challenging to diagnose and treat PJI due to the formation of a biofilm protecting the bacteria in chronic infections from the innate immune system and antibiotics. READ MORE

  7. 5. Small-scale dosimetry methods for normal tissues after radioembolization and peptide receptor radiotherapies; a focus on the liver parenchyma and the bone marrow

    Author : Jens Hemmingsson; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Abstract : Radionuclide therapies are increasingly used in cancer treatments as they have been proven to be both effective and safe. As biodistributions and uptake vary widely between patients, a standardized approach is bound to leave a fraction of patients overtreated or undertreated. READ MORE
