Incidental Intense Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor (FAPI) Uptake in Bilateral Gluteal Myositis Ossificans: A Case Report.

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) is a widely adopted imaging modality for detecting hypermetabolic lesions. However, emerging positron-emitting tracers, such as radiopharmaceuticals featuring fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitors (FAPI) labeled with [18F] or [68Ga], have opened new avenues in nuclear medicine. This case report focuses on the unique behavior of [68Ga]-FAPI in bilateral gluteal myositis ossificans, an infrequent condition characterized by soft tissue ossification.

Navigating The Prostate Cancer Frontier: A Bibliometric and Altmetric Analysis of [Ac]Ac-PSMA Therapy.

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the current state of bibliometric and altmetric research output of [Ac]Ac-Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and its implications for prostate cancer (PC). Both PubMed and Scopus digital libraries were systematically explored to retrieve relevant data on the topic of interest. The study of various bibliometric and altmetric indices was facilitated through the use of Microsoft Excel, Stata (Version 17.

Global Research Output of Lutetium-177 PSMA in Prostate Cancer: Bibliometric and Altmetric Analyses.

Aim: The integration of innovative radio-pharmaceutical agents targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) within nuclear medicine has transformed prostate cancer detection and management. This study aims to investigate the present landscape of [Lu]Lu-PSMA in prostate cancer, elucidating trends, global contributions, scholarly outlets, institutions, and thematic concentrations with an aim to inform forthcoming research endeavors.

Methods: We systematically probed the Scopus repository for relevant [Lu]Lu-PSMA literature.

The Diagnostic and Predictive Value of F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

This retrospective study examines the diagnostic accuracy of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and neck magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting nodal metastasis for patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and assesses the predictive values of metabolic and structural features derived from F-FDG PET/CT. By involving 66 patients from 2014 to 2021, the sensitivity and specificity of both modalities were calculated. F-FDG PET/CT outperforms neck MRI for nodal disease detection, with 89% sensitivity, 65% specificity, and 77% accuracy for nodal metastasis ( = 0.

Prominent F-FDG Uptake in the Adrenal Gland after Contralateral Adrenalectomy in a Known Case of Adrenocortical Oncocytic Carcinoma.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of cancer that is associated with a high rate of recurrence and poor prognosis. The main diagnostic approaches to adrenocortical cancer include CT scan, MRI and the promising role of F-FDG PET/CT. The main therapeutic approaches include radical surgery of local disease and recurrences, as well as adjuvant mitotane therapy.
