Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to compare how different image reconstruction algorithms affect the size and [F]FDG uptake metrics of malignant tumors in PET/CT scans.
  • - Researchers found that the Bayesian penalized-likelihood (BPL) algorithm resulted in higher measurements of SUVmax, SUVmean, and signal-to-background ratio (SBR), while reducing metabolic tumor volume (MTV) compared to other algorithms.
  • - The results indicated that changes in these parameters from BPL were more pronounced in smaller or less metabolically active tumors, highlighting the algorithm's effectiveness in assessing tumor characteristics.

Objective: To evaluate the application of ²⁰¹TI and (99m)Tc-MIBI scintigraphy in assessment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma.

Methods: Twenty-two patients with osteosarcoma underwent both ²⁰¹TI and (99m)Tc-MIBI scintigraphy. According to tumor necrosis rate (TNR), 22 patients were classified into three groups: Group 1(necrosis less than 50%), Group 2(50% ≊ 89% necrosis) and Group 3(necrosis greater than 90%).

Objective: To investigate the value of(99m)Tc-MIBI/(18)F-FDG-dual-isotope simultaneous acquisition (DISA) in diagnosis and treatment of patients with myocardial infarction.

Methods: Sixty-three patients with myocardial infarction who underwent DISA before and after treatment were enrolled in the study. All cases were divided into subgroups based on different treatment and myocardial viability: Group A1 (n = 16) with coronary revascularization and viable myocardium, A2 (n = 9) same as A1 but no viable myocardium; B1 (n = 6) with coronary revascularization + stem cell transplantation and viable myocardium, B2 (n = 7) same as B1 but no vital myocardium; C1 (n = 8) with stem cell transplantation and viable myocardium, C2 (n = 17) same as C1 but on viable myocardium.

Objective: To investigate the significance of Tl-201 scintigraphy for assessment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma.

Methods: Thirty-four cases with osteosarcoma were enrolled into this study. The Tl-201 scintigraphy features including uptake ratio(UR) and size ratio(SR) were obtained in both early and delay imaging stages before and after chemotherapy.
