according to the importance of positron emitters in nuclear medicine, 82mrb was produced as a member of this group of radiopharmaceuticals. after being converted into an injectable form, enough information was provided for imaging with this radiopharmaceutical. 82mrb with high radioisotopic purity and half-life of 6.5 hours, in chloride form, can be considered as a suitable positron emitter for...

allergic diseases are frequent in children and their prevalence and severity differ in the different regions of the world. the association between pet ownership in childhood and subsequent asthma and sensitization is very controversial. in our survey conducted with standardized method (international study of asthma and allergies in childhood), 3200 children 6-7 years old were questioned regardi...

BACKGROUND Studies suggest that patients with metastases limited in number and destination organ benefit from metastasis-directed therapy. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is commonly used for metastasis directed therapy in this group. However, the characterization of PET response following SBRT is unknown in this population. We analyzed our cohort of patients to describe the PET response ...

A 60-year-old patient with testicular seminoma was referred for F-18 FDG PET/CT Study to evaluate recurrence. In addition to hypermetabolic cervical, mediastinal and hilar lymph node tumoral metastases, segmental intense FDG uptake along the lumbar spinal cord suggestive of tumoral metastasis was noted which quite an unusual presentation is.  At the time of PET study the patient was symptomless...

Construction of flexible pavements with hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures consumes huge energy which impacts the resources and the environment of the world. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is an effective alternative as they produced with lower mixing and compaction temperature than those used in HMA production. This technology decreases energy consumption, saves money, and reducing the environmental pollu...

Background: Much of the work on fish welfare focuses on areas prior to arrival at the home aquarium. Fish owners may have questions regarding the health and well-being of their fish, and they likely return to the point of purchase to get relevant fish health information. Methods: A phone survey was administered to a random sample of North Carolina stores that sell pet fish. The purpose was to d...

Abstract Background Q.Clear is a Bayesian penalized likelihood (BPL) reconstruction algorithm that presents improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) clinical positron emission tomography (PET) scans. Brain studies research require provides good spatial resolution and accentuates contrast features however, filtered back-projection (FBP) not available on GE SIGNA PET-Magnetic Resonance (PET-MR...

a new simple and reliable method for rapid and selective extraction and determination of trace levels of zn(ii) ion is developed. zn(ii) ions are adsorbed quantitatively during passage of aqueous samples through pet-aa/aam nano fiber modified. almost all matrix elements were found to pass through the nano fiber to drain. modified poly (ethylene terephthalate)-grafted-acrylic acid/acryl amide na...

UNLABELLED Hybrid PET/CT was compared with PET alone in the staging and restaging of patients with Ewing tumor to assess the benefit of the combined imaging technique. METHODS A total of 163 (18)F-FDG PET/CT studies performed in 53 patients (age: range, 4-38 y; median, 16.5 y) with histopathologically confirmed Ewing tumor were evaluated retrospectively. All PET/CT studies included low-dose C...
