Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to analyze the effectiveness of different interposition materials used during surgical treatment for tarsal coalitions in children and their impact on recurrence rates.
- Out of 294 articles, 21 studies involving 436 patients and 581 feet were included, focusing on various coalition types and surgical methods.
- Overall, the findings indicated low recurrence rates (9%) across different interposition techniques, but it remains unclear which specific material yields the best results due to diverse study quality and lack of statistical comparison.
Purpose: Proliferating bone marrow is exquisitely sensitive to ionizing radiation. Knowledge of its distribution could improve radiation therapy planning to minimize unnecessary marrow exposure and avoid consequential prolonged myelosuppression. [18F]-Fluoro-3-deoxy-3-L-fluorothymidine (FLT)-positron emission tomography (PET) is a novel imaging modality that provides detailed quantitative images of proliferating tissues, including bone marrow.

The purpose of this study was to investigate geographic miss of lung tumours due to respiratory motion for target volumes defined on a standard 3D-PET/CT.
Methods: 29 patients staged for pulmonary malignancy who completed both a 3D-PET/CT and 4D-PET/CT were included.
