The American Association for Cancer Research convened a meeting of international pediatric oncologists, geneticists, genetic counselors, and radiologists expert in childhood cancer predisposition syndromes (CPS) in October 2016 to propose consensus surveillance guidelines. Imaging plays a central role in surveillance for most, though not all, syndromes discussed. While encompassing the full gam...

Twenty-one patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma were studied prospectively with Tc-99m (V) DMSA after surgery. Pentavalent DMSA scintigram demonstrated abnormal uptake in 13 and equivocal uptake in 6 patients. Finally, seven patients with surgical or other imaging documentation were selected for this paper. Most of these patients were asymptomatic. Six patients had hypercalcitonemia ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility of whole body imaging using a 3 Tesla magnetic resonance scanner without a contrast agent, and to study the prevalence of abnormal findings among a cohort of asymptomatic doctors. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Private hospital, Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS A total of 132 asymptomatic medical doctors (111 men, 21 women), with a mean age of 56 (range, 3...

Introduction: The ability of quadratic dose protocol to maintain a good quality image for an overweight and obese patient is well reported. However, a practical approach to the implementation of this protocol in whole-body imaging in Malaysia is currently lacking. Hence, the aim of this study is to derive the quadratic dose formula that suits our PET system. Metho...
