[Nuclear medicine techniques for selective internal radiotherapy of liver cancer].

Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) of hepatocellular carcinoma has been introduced at Aarhus University Hospital. 90Y-microspheres are implanted in the tumour by catheterization of the tumour feeding liver artery. Pretreatment angiography and test treatment using 99mTc-labelled particles followed by scintigraphy ensure a feasible and effective treatment.

Accuracy of 18F-FDG PET-CT in triaging lung cancer patients with suspected brain metastases for MRI.

Objective: Brain metastases are common in lung cancer. Whole-body 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose ([F]FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) is used for general staging, but MRI is the best modality for characterizing brain abnormalities. We aimed to determine whether PET/CT is suitable for selecting patients for MRI on the suspicion of brain metastases.

Monitoring Kidney Function in Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients Treated with (90)Y-DOTATOC: Associations with Risk Factors.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an established treatment for progressive neuroendocrine tumours with nephrotoxicity as the limiting factor. It is therefore important to monitor kidney function changes after PRRT treatment. We aimed to investigate kidney function by different methods and during a 4-hour and a 24-hour amino acid (AA) infusion protocol.
