PURPOSE This study assessed the axillary lymph node (ALN)-to-primary tumor maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) ratio (ALN/T SUV ratio) in invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) on preoperative (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) to determine the effectiveness in predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS). METHODS One hundred nineteen IDC patie...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of thyroid volume measurement using 99mTc pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images, acquired by the standardized uptake value (SUV)-shape scheme designed by our expert team.Methods: A total of 18 consecutive patients with Graves’ disease (GD) were subjected to both ultrasonographic and 99mTc pertechnet...

Iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) uptake and retention was imaged by positron emission tomography (PET) at 0-48 min and 24 h after administration of 28.0-64.4 MBq (0.76-1.74 mCi) of [124I]IUdR in 20 patients with brain tumors, including meningiomas and gliomas. The PET images were directly compared with gadolinium contrast-enhanced or T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. Estimates for IUdR-DNA incorpor...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to investigate whether (18)F-FDG PET/CT can be used for in vivo chemosensitivity testing and to determine the optimal time point for observation. METHODS Forty-two rabbits with 84 implanted VX2 squamous cell tumors were randomized into a control group (n = 10) and a treatment group (n = 32). (18)F-FDG PET/CT was performed the day before intravenous adm...

UNLABELLED For attenuation correction (AC) in PET/MRI systems, segmentation-based methods are most often used. However, the standardized uptake value (SUV) of lesions in the bone and liver, which have higher attenuation coefficients than other organs, can be underestimated, potentially leading to misinterpretation of clinical cases. Errors in SUV estimation are also dependent on the segmentatio...

BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) is important in the assessment and workup of lung cancer staging. However, inconsistencies between clinical image results obtained and pathologic findings of surgical specimens are still very common, particularly in patients with clinical early stage lung cancer. We sought to clarify the role of PET-CT in predict...

This article presents the history of two key organizations in interwar Danish–Soviet relations, Association (DRS) and Danish Union Friends Soviet (SUV). Drawing on a large selection primary sources literature, navigates considerable archival fragmentation comprehensive analysis parallel but separate national nodes wider transnational framework cultural diplomacy. The explains background, struct...

Considering the present business competitive scenario, the automotive industry is under pressure to achieve higher productivity. A high level of performance and quality standard could be achieved through improving the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the equipment in an automotive industry. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the performance measurement through OEE theory in a...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate soft tissue sarcomas by dynamic (18)F-FDG-PET studies, and to establish an index of kinetic parameters for evaluation of their malignancy, histological grade and prognosis, after surgical resection. One hundred and seventeen patients including 79 with histologically proven soft tissue malignancies, 14 with primary benign soft tissue tumors and 24 with p...
