Frequency and characteristics of ectopic parathyroid adenomas in a cohort of patients referred for 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT.

Aim: This article aimed to study the frequency and characteristics of ectopic/intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas in patients referred for 18 F-fluorocholine PET/computed tomography (CT).

Patients And Methods: From 11 June 2015 to 15 January 2024, 729 patients were studied. Recorded patient variables included hyperparathyroidism type, sex, age, presence of symptoms, renal involvement, bone involvement, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and serum calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D as well as 24-h urine calcium excretion.

Focal Nodular Hyperplasia of the Liver Detected on Myocardial Perfusion PET/CT.

A 65-year-old woman with a few episodes of chest pain and progressive dyspnea on exertion was sent to the department of nuclear medicine for myocardial PET/CT. Pharmacological stress was performed with adenosine. During pharmacological stress, neither anginal complaints nor changes in electrocardiogram were observed.

Performance of visual, manual, and automatic coronary calcium scoring of cardiac N-ammonia PET/low dose CT.

Background: Coronary artery calcium is a well-known predictor of major adverse cardiac events and is usually scored manually from dedicated, ECG-triggered calcium scoring CT (CSCT) scans. In clinical practice, a myocardial perfusion PET scan is accompanied by a non-ECG triggered low dose CT (LDCT) scan. In this study, we investigated the accuracy of patients' cardiovascular risk categorisation based on manual, visual, and automatic AI calcium scoring using the LDCT scan.

[Analysis of opinion of surgeons on the role of topical hemostatic agents].

Objective: To analyze an opinion of surgeons on advisability, efficacy and choice of topical hemostatic agents.

Material And Methods: The research was based on anonymous questioning of surgeons. The questionnaires were developed by using of interactive Google Forms tool (https://www.

Relation between pharmacological stress ECG, 13NH3-PET/CT outcome and the occurrence of cardiac events during follow-up in women with chest pain.

Aim: Evaluation of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in women referred for NH3-PET/CT in relation to scan outcome and pharmacological stress ECG (PxECG) results.

Patients And Methods: Six hundred twenty-four women, referred for NH3-PET/CT between 2012 and 2016, were included. Demographic data and MACE during follow-up (407 ± 207 days) were retrieved from electronic patient charts.
