False-Negative 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT in Pediatric Thyroid Medullary Carcinoma Seen With 68 Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT and 18 F-FDG PET/CT.

In adults, 68 Ga-FAP inhibitor ( 68 Ga-FAPI) PET/CT outperforms 68 Ga-radiolabeled somatostatin analog peptides ( 68 Ga PET/CT) and 18 F-FDG PET/CT in detecting thyroid lesions. This is the case of a 13-year-old boy newly diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer with high calcitonin level. 68 Ga PET/CT revealed the presence of only a primary thyroid lesion.

Clinico-social factors to choose radioactive iodine dose in differentiated thyroid cancer patients: an Asian survey.

Objective: This survey was designed to investigate the practice of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy and clinico-social factors related to RAI dose in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients among Asian countries.

Materials And Methods: A survey questionnaire was mailed to Asian Nuclear Medicine physicians that addressed the infrastructure, general regulations on RAI therapy, adherence to recommendations, RAI dose selection, factors to elevate RAI dose, and follow-up protocols in DTC patients. Contrived RAI practice recommendations were based on key international guidelines.

Assessment of segmental left ventricular thickening in diabetic type II obese patients with normal myocardial perfusion scan.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether gated single photo emission tomography (gSPET) can be used to detect subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in obese diabetic type II patients.

Subjects And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed gSPET images of 190 patients with diabetes mellitus type II (DM II) (137 females and 53 males) with normal myocardial perfusion and normal ejection fraction (EF). Standardized twenty segment polar maps of thickening and motion were generated.
