objective(s): it is difficult to investigate the whole-body distribution of an orally administered drug by means of positron emission tomography (pet), owing to the short physical half-life of radionuclides, especially when 11c-labeled compounds are tested. therefore, we aimed to examine the whole-body distribution of donepezil (dnp) as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor by means of 11c-dnp pet ...

Despite considerable excitement about the potential of PET/MR imaging for the detection, staging, and functional characterization of cancer, this new technology is evolving significantly more slowly than PET/CT. This slower evolution is due partly to ongoing technologic challenges (e.g., accurate attenuation correction of PET images) but also to the complex logistics of combining a whole-body P...

2 JUNE 2015 I n [Fingar, 2008], the US National Intelligence Council reported six potentially disruptive technologies for the year 2025, one of them being service robotics. The report states that, “[...] robots for elder care applications and the development of human augmentation technologies, mean that robots could be working alongside humans in looking after and rehabilitating people.” On a r...

Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

BACKGROUND Trauma is the most common cause of death in young adults. A multidisciplinary trauma team consists of at least a surgical team, an anesthesiology team, radiologic team, and an emergency department team. OBJECTIVE Recognize the integration of multidisciplinary medical team in managing the trauma patient and which must include the radiologist physician responsible for the institution...
