PET/MRI PET MRI applications Having learned how to establish a PET/MRI facility (1), acquired an understanding of the science and technology (2), and gained insight into protocols and sequences in PET ...

This study investigated the application of large language models (LLMs) with and without retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in nuclear medicine, particularly their performance across various topics ...

18F-FDG PET/CT quantification of whole-body tumor burden in lymphoma is not routinely performed because of the lack of fast methods. Although the semiautomatic method is fast, it is not fast enough to ...

As nuclear medicine instructors shift toward online learning, it is imperative to use instructional strategies that align with the program’s theoretic foundation. Online learning does not require a ...

Calcific diskitis (CD) is a rare condition characterized by inflammation and calcification of an intervertebral disk, typically causing localized back pain. We present the case of a 65-y-old woman ...

Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidneys that is seen more commonly in children than the adults. 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) scanning is a radionuclide imaging study to detect ...

The 2024 update of the North American consensus guidelines for pediatric administered radiopharmaceutical activities (NAGL) is presented. Under the auspices of the Image Gently Alliance, a working ...

Data acquisition is substantially different in PET than it is in planar nuclear medicine and SPECT. There is an entirely different set of definitions and considerations. The objective of this paper is ...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the principles of PET/CT imaging and describe the artifacts associated with it. PET/CT is a new imaging modality that integrates functional (PET) and ...

Alzheimer disease is associated with the accumulation of one or more misfolded proteins. The 2 primary proteins are amyloid-β and tau, which cause extracellular deposition of amyloid-β plaque and ...

Objective: Gamma cameras contain energy discriminators that allow only those photons within a specified energy range to be recorded. A spontaneous shift in peak of 1 head of a dual-head gamma camera ...

In recent years, there has been an influx of new tracers into the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Most of those that have been Food and Drug Administration–approved for clinical ...
