Same-day comparative protocol PET/CT-PET/MRI [ Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC in paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas: an approach to personalized medicine.

Background: PET/MRI is an emerging imaging modality which enables the evaluation and quantification of biochemical processes in tissues, complemented with accurate anatomical information and low radiation exposure. In the framework of theragnosis, PET/MRI is of special interest due to its ability to delineate small lesions, adequately quantify them, and therefore to plan targeted therapies. The aim of this study was to validate the diagnostic performance of [ Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/MRI compared to PET/CT in advanced disease paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (PGGLs) to assess in which clinical settings, PET/MRI may have a greater diagnostic yield.

Importance of MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysis.

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a common disorder resulting from a large variety of causes. We describe the MRI features and their importance for diagnosis and treatment.

Patients And Methods: Between 2003 and 2006, four male patients (age range: 25-33 years) with rhabdomyolysis were studied via 1.
