  2. 11. PET/CT with 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATOC in pulmonary carcinoid imaging

    Author : Natalja Uhlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: PET/CT, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, with 18F-FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose) is well established in oncological imaging. Pulmonary carcinoid tumours may have metabolic activity, making them available for PET/CT imaging with 18F-FDG. READ MORE

  4. 12. Experimental treatment of patients with disseminated malignant melanoma

    Author : Aglaia Schiza; Gustav Ullenhag; Angelica Loskog; Sara Mangsbo; Thomas Tötterman; Ola Winqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Malignant melanoma; AdCD40L; immunotherapy; proteomics; DW-MRI; FDG-PET CT; prediction; early response; BRAF-inhibitor; vemurafenib; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma (MM) is the deadliest skin cancer with an ever-increasing incidence. New treatments have improved the prognosis for patients with advanced MM. Still, most patients do not respond, and the side effects can be severe, underlining the need for better therapies. READ MORE

  5. 13. Whole-Body MRI including Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Oncology

    Author : Firas Mosavi; Håkan Ahlström; Lennart Blomqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Diffusion-weighted imaging; Whole-body MRI; NaF PET CT; FDG PE CT; apparent diffusion coefficient;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the major causes of worldwide mortality. Imaging plays a vital role in the staging, follow-up, and evaluation of therapeutic response in cancer patients. Whole-body (WB) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as a non-ionizing imaging technique, is a promising procedure to assess tumor spreading in a single examination. READ MORE

  6. 14. A clinical positron emission tomography facility : 2-¹⁸FDG studies : development and results

    Author : Tomas G Ohlsson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; Clinical physics; head and neck cancer; monitoring therapy effect; quantification; normalization; 511 keV SPECT; rotating PET scanner; 2-[18-F]FDG; isotope production; 18-F; PET; positron emission tomography; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Fysicumarkivet A:1996:Ohlsson;

    Abstract : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a tracer technique used for quantitative in vivo studies of physiological and biochemical processes. Because of the use of positron-emitting radionuclides such as 11-C, 13-N, 15-O and 18-F, which are isotopes of the biologically ubiquitous elements, it is possible to label radiopharmaceuticals which trace biochemical processes precisely.

  7. 15. Aortic valve imaging - Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis

    Author : Erika Fagman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic valve endocarditis; aortic valve endocarditis; ECG-gated CT; cardiac CT; 18F-FDG PET CT;

    Abstract : Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, but TEE has diagnostic shortcomings. Thus, new imaging methods might improve the diagnostic workup of PVE. READ MORE
