Regional CMRglc (rCMRglc) values were measured with [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET), using a Scanditronix PC-1024-7B scanner, in 14 healthy, noninstitutionalized subjects with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome; DS) (mean age 30.0 years, range 25-38 years) and in 13 sex-matched, healthy volunteers (mean age 29.5 years, range 22-38 years). In the DS group, m...

BACKGROUND We have developed a new measure of myocardial viability, the water-perfusable tissue index (PTI), which is calculated from transmission, C15O, and H2(15)O positron emission tomography (PET) data sets. It is defined as the proportion of the total anatomical tissue within a given region of interest (ROI) that is capable of rapidly exchanging water and has units g (perfusable tissue)/g ...

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become the standard of treatment for patients with locally advanced breast cancer and is now a potential treatment for patients with earlier stage operable disease. Preoperative chemotherapy allows more patients to be treated with breast-conserving surgery and enables direct in vivo assessment of response, which correlates with outcome. The role of imaging is to eva...
