Using Nuclear Medicine Imaging Wisely in Diagnosing Infectious Diseases
In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on efficient and accurate diagnostic testing, exemplified by the American Board of Internal Medicine's "Choosing Wisely" campaign. Nuclear imaging studies can provide early and accurate diagnoses of many infectious disease syndromes, particularly in complex cases where the differential remains broad. This review paper offers clinicians a ra...
متن کاملChoosing wisely in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging.
N uclear medicine and molecular imaging are vital elements of today’s medical practice, adding an additional dimension to diagnoses that can change the way common and devastating diseases are understood and treated. However, it is a complicated, fast-evolving specialty that is not necessarily well understood by primary care or even referring physicians. Nuclear medicine procedures are sometimes...
متن کاملDiagnosing infectious diseases using in situ hybridization
This note describes the foundations, methodology, principles, advantages and disadvantages of using in situ hybridization to diagnose swine infectious diseases. In situ hybridization (ISH) relies on the detection of complementary sequences of nucleic acids present in the tissue using labeled nucleic acid sequences (probes) specific for the infectious organism.

متن کاملDiagnosing infectious porcine diseases using immunohistochemistry
This review describes the foundations, methodology, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of immunohistochemistry used for the diagnosis of swine infectious disease. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) relies on the binding of immunoglobulins to antigens present in tissues. Numerous proteins from infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi) can be detected with this technique. The antig...
متن کاملDiagnosing atherosclerosis makes Nuclear Medicine a tissue imaging modality.
Atherosclerosis can be identified by fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) and is associated with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Inflammation and classification appear jointly in the formation of atherogenesis. Arterial calcification has been also determined by CT, by (18)F-FDG PET and also in the last few years by (18...
