چکیده

18F-FDG PET/CT is a well-established method used both for staging and follow-up examinations of patients with lymphoma. In addition, it provides valuable information considering bone marrow infiltration.1 We present a case of 46-year-old female with lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin’s lymphoma who underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) for initial staging and for response evaluation to chemotherapy. Evaluation of preand post-therapy scans side by side revealed an unusual flip-flop pattern of skeleton as reversing FDG uptake (Fig. 1).

The Effects of Strained Multiple Quantum Well on the Chirped DFB-SOA All Optical Flip-Flop

In this paper, based on the coupled-mode and carrier rate equations, a dynamic model and numerical analysis of a multi quantum well (MQW) chirped distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier (DFB-SOA)  all-optical flip-flop is precisely derived. We have analyzed the effects of strains of QW and MQW and cross phase modulation (XPM) on the dynamic response, and rise and fall times of the ...
