A review of state-of-the-art resolution improvement techniques in SPECT imaging.

EJNMMI Phys

January 2025

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, 230001, Anhui, China.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), a technique capable of capturing functional and molecular information, has been widely adopted in theranostics applications across various fields, including cardiology, neurology, and oncology. The spatial resolution of SPECT imaging is relatively poor, which poses a significant limitation, especially the visualization of small lesions. The main factors affecting the limited spatial resolution of SPECT include projection sampling techniques, hardware and software.

Objective: This systematic review was conducted to synthesize current research on the role of repeated transurethral resection of the bladder (re-TURB) and the emerging use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in discerning patient suitability for safely foregoing this procedure.

Evidence Acquisition: Employing a methodical literature search, we consulted several bibliographic databases including PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase. The review process adhered strictly to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines.

The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Central Nervous System Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, and neurology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. After developing a list of 24 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, a rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of these clinical/diagnostic scenarios. Recommendations from 55 guidelines and contextualization criteria in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) for guidelines framework were used to develop 51 recommendation statements across the 24 scenarios.

Biomarkers of disease progression in progressive supranuclear palsy for use in clinical trials.

Brain Commun

January 2025

Department of Neuroscience, School of Translational Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease with no current disease-modifying treatments approved. Longitudinal research and clinical trials for PSP are ongoing and require reliable measures that are sensitive to disease progression. Despite susceptibility to subjective limitations, clinical and cognitive assessments are the most used instruments in therapeutic trials in PSP.

CT-sensitized nanoprobe for effective early diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

J Nanobiotechnology

January 2025

Nurturing Center of Jiangsu Province for State Laboratory of AI Imaging & Interventional Radiology; Basic Medicine Research and Innovation Center of Ministry of Education, Medical School of Southeast University, 87 Dingjiaqiao, Nanjing, 210009, China.

Early diagnosis is critical for providing a timely window for effective therapy in pulmonary fibrosis (PF); however, achieving this remains a significant challenge. The distinct honeycombing patterns observed in computed tomography (CT) for the primary diagnosis of PF are typically only visible in patients with moderate to severe disease, often leading to missed opportunities for early intervention. In this study, we developed a nanoprobe designed to accumulate at fibroblastic foci and loaded with the CT sensitizer iodide to enable effective early diagnosis of PF.
