Introduction: Two-stage revision is considered the gold standard treatment in chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) but no specific criteria or examination exist to determine infection eradication before reimplantation. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of leukocyte scintigraphy after the first-stage procedure in two-stage revision for chronic PJI.
Material And Methods: Patients studied with leukocyte scintigraphy after cement spacer insertion for knee PJI from January 2012 to December 2021 were retrospectively included.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) has been considered a promising target for tumor imaging and therapy. This study designed a novel peptide, FAP-HXN, specifically targeting FAP and exhibiting significant potential as a radionuclide-labeled theranostic agent. Preclinical studies were conducted to evaluate the potency, selectivity, and efficacy of FAP-HXN.

There is a significantly growing interest in diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, and it is foreseeable that an unprecedented number of patients will need to be treated with new nuclear medicine therapies. This predicted increase will have potentially significant environmental impacts. In this discussion, we show different areas of impact, as well as possible measures to reduce such impact.

From the Department of Radiology.
Purpose: To evaluate the predictive ability of 99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin SPECT/CT quantitative parameters for posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).
Methods: Sixty-eight patients who underwent 99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin scintigraphy as a preoperative examination for hepatectomy between July 2021 and December 2023 were prospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into PHLF and non-PHLF groups.

Metastatic lateral pelvic lymph node (LPN) in rectal cancer has a significant clinical impact on the prognosis and treatment strategies. But there are still debates regarding prediction of lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and its oncological impact. This review explores the evidence for predicting lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and survival in locally advanced rectal cancer.
