Fusion of FDG and FMZ PET Reduces False Positive in Predicting Epileptogenic Zone.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

January 2025

From the School of Biomedical Engineering (B.C., H.H., J.L., S.Y., Y.C., J.L.), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China; Department of Neurosurgery (S.J., J.H., L.C.), and PET Center (W.B.), Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Background And Purpose: Epilepsy, a globally prevalent neurological disorder, necessitates precise identification of the epileptogenic zone (EZ) for effective surgical management. While the individual utilities of FDG PET and FMZ PET have been demonstrated, their combined efficacy in localizing the epileptogenic zone remains underexplored. We aim to improve the non-invasive prediction of epileptogenic zone (EZ) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) by combining FDG PET and FMZ PET with statistical feature extraction and machine learning.

False-Positive Uptake of 123I-MIBG in the Basal Ganglion in a Pediatric Neuroblastoma Patient.

Clin Nucl Med

January 2025

From the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

A 7-year-old boy with high-risk neuroblastoma underwent 123I-MIBG SPECT/CT to evaluate the therapy response. The scan revealed abnormal 123I-MIBG uptake in the left basal ganglion, indicating the possibility of brain metastasis. Subsequent contrast-enhanced brain MRI, however, did not show any abnormal signal intensity in the left basal ganglion.

This 2025 updated consensus outlines the diagnostic strategy for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Given that ATTR-CM is a significant contributor to heart failure, this article emphasizes the importance of making an early and precise diagnosis, particularly as new therapeutic options become available. Highlighting the critical importance of an early and accurate diagnosis, particularly in light of emerging therapeutic modalities, this consensus underscores the central role of Tc-pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-FAPI-04 (FAPI) in comparison to 68Ga-DOTATATE (SSTR) PET/CT for patients presenting with recurrent medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).

Patients And Methods: Sixteen MTC patients with elevated calcitonin levels (>150 pg/mL) underwent FAPI and SSTR PET/CT. Two nuclear medicine physicians evaluated all images, categorizing lesions into locoregional metastases, mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs), liver, and bone metastases.
