  2. 16. Aspects of PET-CT in prostate cancer. Protocol optimization, diagnostic accuracy, and dosimetry

    Author : Mimmi Bjöersdorff; Malmö Nuklearmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET-CT; Prostatacancer; [18F]FCH; [18F]PSMA-1007; optimering; diagnostisk noggrannhet; dosimetri; PET-CT; Prostate Cancer; [18F]FCH; [18F]PSMA-1007; Optimization; Diagnostic accuracy; Dosimetric;

    Abstract : The PET-CT imaging modality is based on positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography. Before a PET-CT examination, a radioactive tracer (also called a radiopharmaceutical) is intravenously injected into the patient. PET technology images the distribution of this tracer element by detecting the decay. READ MORE

  4. 17. 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.

  5. 18. Synthesis and application of β-configured [18/19F]FDGs : Novel prosthetic CuAAC click chemistry fluoroglycosylation tools for amyloid PET imaging and cancer theranostics

    Author : Mathias Elgland; Peter Konradsson; Peter Nilsson; Per Hammarström; Olof Solin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FDG; clickable; PET; synthesis; in vivo imaging; theranostics;

    Abstract : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive imaging method that renders three-dimensional images of tissue that selectively has taken up a radiolabelled organic compound, referred to as a radiotracer. This excellent technique provides clinicians with a tool to monitor disease progression and to evaluate how the patient respond to treatment. READ MORE

  6. 19. HER2-receptor quantification in breast cancer patients by imaging with ABY-025 Affibody and PET

    Author : Ali Alhuseinalkhudhur; Henrik Lindman; Jens Sörensen; Mark Lubberink; Irina Velikyan; Rimma Axelsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET; Breast cancer; HER2; Affibody; ABY-025; Molecular imaging; Kinetic modelling; Brain metastasis;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in up to 20% of breast cancer cases and is considered an important prognostic factor and a therapeutic target. READ MORE

  7. 20. Improved adrenocortical PET imaging

    Author : Isabella Silins; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Gunnar Antoni; Anders Sundin; Azita Monazzam; Håkan Geijer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Introduction: Adrenal tumours can either be benign or malignant, hormone secreting or not, and they can be discovered through clinical examination of the patient or by pure chance. Increased knowledge in the area, plus the widespread use of imaging techniques, have resulted in a rising number of patients with adrenal tumours that subsequently need to be diagnosed.
