objective(s): we performed a phase iia clinical trial of trans-1-amino-3-18ffluoro-cyclobutane carboxylic acid (anti-18f-facbc), a synthetic amino acid analog for pet, in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. methods: the study subjects consisted of 10 untreated prostate cancer patients having lymph node and/or bone metastasis. five patients underwent whole-body pet 5 and 30 min after intra...

this study is carried out to estimate the potential evapotranspiration (pet) and crop coefficient (kc) for wheat, bl 3235 variety. a lysimeter is installed to estimate pet at the experimental farm of agricultural research center of bhairahawa, which is located in western part of nepal. the blaney-criddle formula is used to estimate the kc for wheat. the estimated values of pet and kc for wheat ...

objective(s): the study objective was to assess the diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography (pet) for gliomas using the novel tracer 18f-fluciclovine (anti-[18f]facbc) and to evaluate the safety of this tracer in patients with clinically suspected gliomas.methods: anti-[18f]facbc was administered to 40 patients with clinically suspected high- or low-grade gliomas, followed by pet...

a 65 year old male with metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc) in the liver was referred for selective internal radionuclide therapy (sirt) following a history of extensive systemic chemotherapy. 90y pet imaging was performed immediately after treatment and used to confirm lesion targeting and measure individual lesion absorbed doses. lesion dosimetry was highly predictive of eventual response in ...

Objective(s): In view of somatostatin receptor (SSR) expression on cell membranes of the majority of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), functional imaging exploiting analogs of SSR alongside the anatomical imaging is the mainstay of this diagnostic modality. In this prospective study, we assessed and directly compared the diagnostic parameters of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 99...

objectives to assess the diagnostic accuracy of pet-mri and mri alone for the detection of local recurrences of soft tissue sarcomas (sts) after initial surgical resection of the primary tumors. methods a total of 41 patients with a clinically suspected tumor relapse of sts underwent an 18f-fdg- pet-mri examination for assessment of local recurrence. two experienced physicians interpreted the m...

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been demonstrated as a promising tool for specific imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) via positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning. Radiation treatment planning (RTP) based on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scanning can also lead to some decision modifications.  The specific goal o...

  The advent of dual-modality PET/CT imaging has revolutionized the practice of clinical oncology, cardiology and neurology by improving lesions localization and the possibility of accurate quantitative analysis. In addition, the use of CT images for CT-based attenuation correction (CTAC) allows to decrease the overall scanning time and to create a noise-free attenuat...

The Fisher gAlaxy suRvey cOde ($\texttt{FARO}$) is a new public Python code that computes the matrix for galaxy surveys observables. observables considered are linear multitracer 3D power spectrum, convergence spectrum weak lensing, and correlation between distribution convergence. allows tomographic model-independent analysis in which, scale-independent growth, following functions of redshift ...

PET (positron emission tomography) is a powerful imaging technique that can provide quantitative information on the distribution of positron emitter labeled radiopharmaceuticals (PET radiopharmaceuticals) in the body. Positrons (ß+) are positively charged beta particles. They are emitted when the atom is proton rich. A positron has only a transient existence. After losing all of its kinetic ene...
