An overview of clinical PET/CT
This article is intended to provide an overview of various aspects of clinical PET/CT. These include discussions of: (i) Important areas of clinical application; (ii) Opportunities in clinical research; (iii) Scanner and operating-mode considerations (e.g. BGO vs. LSO, LYSO or GSO scanners, 2D vs. 3D imaging). (iv) Study-specific considerations (e.g. patient preparation and positioning is...
متن کاملCorrelation of PET-CT nodal SUVmax with p16 positivity in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has been rising in recent years. Given the clinical impact of HPV/p16 positivity in OPSCC, identifying surrogate markers of this disease early in the diagnostic work-up of these patients could improve patient care. METHODS Demographic, pathologic, staging and PET-CT data from patients ...
متن کاملEpithelioid hemangioendothelioma in the thorax: Clinicopathologic, CT, PET, and prognostic features
Little is known about prognostic factors in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). We aimed to identify prognostic factors among various clinicopathologic and imaging features of thoracic EHEs.Forty-two patients (male:female = 20:22; median age, 49 years) of EHEs with (n = 19) and without (n = 23) thoracic involvement were included. We reviewed electronic medical records for clinical informati...
متن کاملConditions for the Positivity of Determinants
Consider a matrix with positive diagonal entries, which is similar via a positive diagonal matrix to a symmetric matrix, and whose signed directed graph has the property that if a cycle and its symmetrically placed complement have the same sign, then they are both positive. We provide sufficient conditions so that A be a P–matrix, that is, a matrix whose principal minors are all positive. We fu...
متن کاملPositivity of Turán determinants for orthogonal polynomials
The orthogonal polynomials pn satisfy Turán’s inequality if p 2 n(x)− pn−1(x)pn+1(x) ≥ 0 for n ≥ 1 and for all x in the interval of orthogonality. We give general criteria for orthogonal polynomials to satisfy Turán’s inequality. This yields the known results for classical orthogonal polynomials as well as new results, for example, for the q–ultraspherical polynomials.
