Hypoxia, a deficiency in the levels of oxygen, is common feature most solid tumors and induces many characteristics cancer. Hypoxia associated with metastases strong resistance to radio- chemotherapy, can decrease accuracy cancer prognosis. Non-invasive imaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET) single-photon computed (SPECT) using hypoxia-targeting radiopharmaceuticals have bee...

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomographic images(SPECT) have relatively poor resolution. In an attempt to improve SPECT image quality, many methods have been developed for including anatomic information, extracted from higher resolution, structurally correlated Magnetic Resonance images(MRI), into SPECT reconstruction process. These methods provide improved SPECT reconstruction accuracy if th...

Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are a rare congenital malformation in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly seen ilium. The present study reported child with mid ileal cyst ofthe ectopic gastric mucosa that was diagnosed by Technetium-99m pertechnetate single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) scintigraphy. can massive lower bleeding early childhood (Mecke...

This study examined the recruitment of employees to work in teams through an investigation into the impact of perceptions of teams on pre-hire recruitment variables in team and individual positions. A repeated measures design with a sample of 123 college students produced evidence to support the idea that perceptions of teams do influence pre-hire recruitment variables. This study provides evid...

The expansion of labour hire employment from traditional clerical placements to a range of blue collar occupations raises concerns about the level of occupational safety risks labour hire workers encounter. Overseas evidence points to a higher incidence and severity of injury for such workers. Is this pattern of injury replicated in Australia? This paper explores this issue through an analysis ...

This study investigated the effect of Black women’s skin-tone on employability ratings. Employability ratings were defined by three measures: personal evaluation, qualifications-for-employment, and racial discrimination. Forty Black and forty White college students participated in the study. All participants were asked to read a job description and a resume, examine a picture of a hypothetical ...

UNLABELLED Hybrid cameras combining SPECT and spiral CT offer the opportunity to obtain a diagnostic-quality CT image of scintigraphically suggestive lesions that directly correlates with the SPECT image. The field of view of the CT scan can be adapted on the basis of the SPECT findings ("SPECT-guided CT"). The aim of the present study was to investigate the value of SPECT-guided CT in the asse...

objective(s): in this study, we aimed to analyze the relationship between the diagnostic ability of fused single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spect/ct) images in localization of parathyroid lesions and the size of adenomas or hyperplastic glands. methods: five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (phpt) and 4 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (shpt) we...

PURPOSE Few studies have reported on predicting prognosis using myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) during coronary artery disease (CAD) treatment. Therefore, we aimed to assess the clinical implications of myocardial perfusion SPECT during follow-up for CAD treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 1153 patients who had abnormal results at index SPECT a...
