Survival benefit of radioembolization for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma using yttrium-90 microspheres.

Background And Aim: Transarterial radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres is one treatment option for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma. We compared the survival in a cohort of patients receiving radioembolization or no radioembolization.

Methods: The data of 46 patients referred for radioembolization was retrospectively reviewed.

What is the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging using rubidium-82 positron emission tomography?

Objectives: The objective was to determine the prognostic value of rubidium-82 (82Rb) positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).

Background: 82Rb PET MPI accurately diagnoses coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are limited data evaluating its prognostic value.
