Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase domain are common in non-small cell lung cancer. Conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitors target the mutation site in the ATP binding pocket, ther...
Distribution of mAbs into tumour tissue may occur via different processes contributing differently to the 89Zr-mAb uptake on PET. Target-specific binding in tumours is of main interest; however, non-specific irre...
Endometriosis is characterized by the ectopic occurrence of endometrial tissue. Though considered benign, endometriotic lesions possess tumor-like properties such as tissue invasion and remodeling of the extra...
The prevalence of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) is substantial, but its risk stratification has been suboptimal. Resting SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could provide u...
Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a target has gained increasing attention. This resea...
Previous studies have demonstrated that delayed [68 Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging improves lesion detection compared to early [68 Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT in patients with prostate cancer. However, the sole use of delayed [
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is effective in treating neuroendocrine tumours, but treatment may be limited by kidney and bone marrow toxicity. In this work, the absorbed dose burden to the bone marrow...
[15O]H2O PET/CT allows noninvasive quantification of tissue perfusion and can potentially play a future role in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral artery disease. We aimed to evaluate the reliability of dy...
The indirect method for generating parametric images in positron emission tomography (PET) involves the acquisition and reconstruction of dynamic images and temporal modelling of tissue activity given a measur...
Developing biomarkers for early stage AD patients is crucial. Glucose metabolism measured by 18F-FDG PET is the most common biomarker for evaluating cellular energy metabolism to diagnose AD. Arterial spin labeli...
The increased expression of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in muscle denervation is thought to be associated with electrophysiological acetylcholine supersensitivity after nerve injury. Hence, we...
Cardiac repair and remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI) is a multifactorial process involving pro-reparative inflammation, angiogenesis and fibrosis. Noninvasive imaging using a radiotracer targetin...
68Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography enables the detection of primary, recurrent, and metastatic prostate cancer. Regional radiopharmaceutical uptake is generally evaluated in static images and quantified a....
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made significant progress in oncotherapy improving survival of patients. However, the benefits are limited to only a small subgroup of patients who could achieve durabl...
The influence of anaesthetic depth and the potential influence of different anaesthetic beds and thus different handling procedures were investigated in 86 severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice using sem...
The identification of biomarkers predicting the treatment response of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is important. [68 Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 showed markedly increased uptake in the joints of patients with RA. The purpose of t...
In parametric PET, kinetic parameters are extracted from dynamic PET images. It is not commonly used in clinical practice because of long scan times and the requirement for an arterial input function (AIF). To...
The diagnostic accuracy of [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) positron emission tomography imaging in accurately identifying thyroid lesions is limited, primarily due to the physiological uptake of normal head ...
Both [18F]FDOPA (FDOPA) and [68Ga]DOTATOC PET/CT (DOTATOC) are widely used for detection of pheochromocytomas/paraganglioma (PPGL). However, direct comparisons of the performance of the two tracers are only avail...
Beta-cell replacement methods such as transplantation of isolated donor islets have been proposed as a curative treatment of type 1 diabetes, but widespread application is challenging due to shortages of donor...
The apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE−/−) mouse is a well-established model for studying atherosclerosis. However, its small size limits its use in longitudinal positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies. ...
This study aimed to assess whether a combined model incorporating radiomic and depth features extracted from PET/CT can predict disease-free survival (DFS) in patients who failed to achieve pathologic complete...
Until recently, quantitation of the net influx of 2-[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to brain (Ki) and the cerebrometabolic rate for glucose (CMRglc) required serial arterial blood sampling in conjunction with dynam...
