Objective(s): Post-treatment evaluations by CT/MRI (based on the International Working Group/ Cotswolds meeting guidelines) and PET (based on Revised Response Criteria), were examined in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML). Methods: 79 patients, undergoing CT/MRI for the examination of suspected lesions and whole-body PET/CT before and after therapy...

Objective(s): We aim to investigate the clinical impact of 18F-FDG PET/CT in managing patients with gynecological malignancies and pelvic or extrapelvic lymph nodes that are of equivocal significance on conventional imaging.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 18F-FDG PET/CT scans of patients with gynecologic tumors who were referred to King Hussein Cancer Center from January 2010 to August 20...

in iran, the majority of vegetable oil producers , use pet for packaging their products . due to high solubility of pet oligomers in the oils , and shelf life of liquid oils , it is expected that some compounds migrate into the oil . this study was carried out to determine the amount of migration of terephtalates from pet bottles into sunflower oil and the effect of temperature and storage time...

results thirty-four patients were hyperglycemic and 127 non diabetic. sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of fdg-pet/ct were 90%, 88%, 87% and 91% in non diabetic and 82%, 92%, 95% and 73% in hyperglycemic patients, respectively. overall, the accuracy was higher in non diabetic than hyperglycemic patients (89% vs. 85%). conclusions accuracy of fdg-p...

أثر انتشار جائحة COVID-19 في بداية هذا العام بشكل كبير على سياسات الإئتمان والتمويل المصرفي، مما دفع مجلس معايير المحاسبة المالية (FASB) إلى إصدار وثيقة تدعم تنفيذ المعيار الدولي للإبلاغ المالي رقم (9) ضوء حالة عدم اليقين الحالية الناتجة من هذه الجائحة، ويتطلب تطبيق الأحكام ويطلب ويسمح للوحدات الإقتصادية بتعديل نهجها لتحديد خسائر المتوقعة ظروف مختلفة وقد لا يكون هناك عدد الإفتراضات والروابط الم...

The degradation of two poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) samples from urban and marine wastes (PET-u PET-m, respectively) has been studied by comparing their properties with those virgin PET (PET-v) post-condensed for bottle fabrication (PET-ssp). FTIR spectroscopy, DSC analysis, WCA MFI results have confirmed that all residues were degraded. Therefore, the chemical recycling evaluated in order...

  In this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4D PET imaging. We will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic PET imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic PET datasets. Various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that util...

combined pet/ct scanners now play a major role in medicine for in vivo imaging in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and psychiatry. as the performance of a scanner depends not only on the scintillating material but also on the scanner design, with regards to the advent of newer scanners, there is a need to optimize acquisition protocols as well as to compare scanner performances on an objective ...
