Best Practices for 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Imaging of Recurrent Prostate Cancer: A Guide for Technologists

Essentials for Developing and Validating Psychological Scales: Guide to Best Practices

Although Scale development is a common work in behavioral and psychological research, many of them are not adequately exact and perfect. Designing and validating a scale is not only straightforward but also it is an onerous and unfamiliar process. This process requires accuracy and exactness. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to concisely review the step by step process of scale developm...

Imaging of recurrent prostate cancer.

Approximately 30% of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy will develop biochemical recurrent disease. Biochemical recurrent disease is defined as an increase in the serum value of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after reaching the nadir. Prostate recurrence can present as PSA-only relapse, local recurrent disease, distant metastases, or a combination of local and di...

Signal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...

PID Tuning Guide A Best-Practices Approach

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
