In this study, (123)I-FP-CIT biodistribution and dosimetry was determined in 10 adult male patients using planar gamma camera imaging alone or in combination with single photon emission computed tomography /X-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. Dosimetric assessment using planar plus SPECT/CT imaging resulted in significantly different estimates of organ-absorbed doses compared to estimates based on planar imaging alone. We conclude that the use of complementary SPECT/CT measurements in biodistribution studies is valuable for determining the organ doses more accurately.

Pulmonary vascular diseases, particularly when accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, are complex disorders often requiring multimodal imaging for diagnosis and monitoring. Echocardiography is the primary screening tool for pulmonary hypertension, while cardiac MR imaging (CMR) is used for more detailed characterization and risk stratification in right ventricular failure. Chest computed tomography (CT) is used to detect vascular anomalies and parenchymal lung diseases.

Background/objectives: Dithiocarbazates (DTCs) and their metal complexes have been studied regarding their property as anticancer activities. In this work, using S-benzyl-5-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pirazol-1-carbodithionate (Hbdtc), we prepared [ReO(bdtc)(Hbdtc)] and [[Tc]TcO(bdtc)(Hbdtc)] complexes for tumor uptake and animal biodistribution studies.
Methods: Re complex was prepared by a reaction of H2bdtc and (NBu)[ReOCl], the final product was characterized by IR, H NMR, CHN, and MS-ESI.

Purpose: Enhancing therapeutic effectiveness is crucial for translating anticancer nanomedicines from laboratory to clinical settings. In this study, we have developed radioactive rhenium oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in human serum albumin ([Re]ReO-HSA NPs) for concurrent radiotherapy (RT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), aiming to optimize treatment outcomes.
Methods: [Re]ReO-HSA NPs were synthesized by a controlled reduction of ReO in HSA medium and extensively characterized.

Objective: The focus of this study was to assess the diagnostic effectiveness of Tc-MDP single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in pinpointing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
Methods: We gathered a total of 39 patients who were suspected of having MRONJ and displayed radionuclide concentration in the jaws on whole-body bone scans. These patients were subjected to simultaneous SPECT/CT fusion imaging of the jaws during delayed imaging.

To develop and validate a novel multidimensional readout method that significantly reduces the number of readout channels in PET detectors while maintaining high spatial and energy performance. Approach: We arranged a 3×3×4 SiPM array in multiple dimensions and employed row/column/layer summation with a resistor-based splitting circuit. We then applied denoising methods to enhance the peak-to-valley ratio in the decoding map, ensuring accurate crystal-position determination.
