Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses the latest research on the surfaces and thin atmospheres of the icy Galilean moons Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto, revealing insights from past and ongoing space missions, as well as recent telescopic data.
  • - It highlights how the surface geology of these moons indicates their evolution and internal heating due to tidal interactions, while surface compositions may suggest potential shallow liquid water environments linked to deeper oceans.
  • - The article outlines the objectives of the ESA JUICE mission to thoroughly investigate these moons, focusing on their tenuous atmospheres, the unexplored water vapor plumes of Europa, and includes predicted trajectory maps for future observations.

Unlabelled: The limited spatial resolution of gamma-cameras is commonly considered the main reason for the low sensitivity of scintimammography in the detection of small carcinomas. The present study assessed whether uptake of (99m)Tc-sestambi is affected by certain tissue-specific parameters besides the size of the tumor.

Methods: Surgical specimens from 75 patients (30 benign lesions, 8 of which had shown false-positive scintigraphic findings, and 45 carcinomas, 8 of which had shown false-negative scintigraphic findings) were subjected to a distinct histopathologic/immunohistochemical reevaluation.
