Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to identify reliable radiomic features from PET/CT scans in non-small cell lung cancer patients and assess their relationship with 2-year survival rates.
- The study involved 81 patients undergoing different segmentation techniques for tumor delineation, with the data divided into exploratory and testing groups to find robust features.
- Ten radiomic features emerged as consistent across methods, and the study found that these features could provide insights into patient survival over a two-year follow-up period.
Influence of low grade exercise on skeletal scintigraphy using Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate.

Background: Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate [MDP] bone scan is the basis of the skeletal imaging in nuclear medicine being a highly sensitive tool for detecting bone diseases. Mechanical stimulation induced by low grade exercise or whole-body vibration appears to be advantageous regarding the maintenance and/or improvement of skeletal mass in humans. We aimed to assess the physiological influence of low grade exercise on the quality of skeletal scintigraphy using Tc-99m MDP.

A retrospective analysis was carried out on 321 patients treated with (131)I for Graves' disease. Group 1 (155 patients) received 8 mCi and group 2 (166 patients) received 12 mCi.
