Seventy FDG-PET/CT cases in which nuclear medicine physicians suspected lymphoma: How reliable are we?
Objective(s): To validate the reliability of nuclear medicine physicians in diagnosing lymphoma using positron emission tomography/computed tomography using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG-PET/CT) and to determine findings that reliably suggest lymphoma.Methods: Seventy patients suspected of having lymphoma using FDG-PET/CT were enrolled in this retrospective study. Two nuclear medicine ph...
متن کاملEffective dose estimation for oncological and neurological PET/CT procedures
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the patient effective dose (ED) for different PET/CT procedures performed with a variety of PET radiopharmaceutical compounds. PET/CT studies of 210 patients were reviewed including Torso (n = 123), Whole body (WB) (n = 36), Head and Neck Tumor (HNT) (n = 10), and Brain (n = 41) protocols with 18FDG (n = 170), 11C-CHOL (n = 10), 1...
متن کاملCancer Proteomics: How Far are We from the Clinics?
Cancer, in spite of several years of research and consequent improvements in clinical management of the disease, shows limited decline in the associated patient mortality and morbidity. In order to achieve better and early diagnosis, design appropriate treatment strategies and precise prognostication, molecular markers which could subclassify tumors are being assessed to complement TNM classifi...
متن کاملHow far are we from the quantum theory of gravity?
An assessment is offered of the progress that the major approaches to quantum gravity have made towards the goal of constructing a complete and satisfactory theory. The emphasis is on loop quantum gravity and string theory, although other approaches are discussed, including dynamical triangulation models (euclidean and lorentzian) regge calculus models, causal sets, twistor theory, non-commutat...
متن کاملHow Far Are We from the Quantum Theory of Gravity ?
I give a pedagogical explanation of what it is about quantization that makes general relativity go from being a nearly perfect classical theory to a very problematic quantum one. I also explain why some quantization of gravity is unavoidable, why quantum field theories have divergences, why the divergences of quantum general relativity are worse than those of the other forces, what physicists t...
