Nuclear Neuroimaging in Social Anxiety Disorder: A Review.

In psychiatric research, nuclear imaging complements MRI. A recent neuroimaging review of social anxiety disorder focused predominantly on MRI, omitting the contribution of nuclear imaging methods. Nuclear imaging investigations of neural activity are sparse but have generally yielded results consistent with studies performed using MRI.

Hybrid imaging using low-dose, localizing computed tomography enhances lesion localization in renal hyperparathyroidism.

Background: Preoperative localization of parathyroid lesions is potentially beneficial in renal patients with hyperparathyroidism. The aim of this study was to determine the localizing value of hybrid single-photon emission computed tomography combined with low-dose x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/LDCT) compared with SPECT alone and whether the LDCT improved reader confidence.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study examined parathyroid scintigraphy results of patients previously referred with a diagnosis of renal hyperparathyroidism.
