Purpose: Terbium-149 is a short-lived α-particle emitter, potentially useful for tumor-targeted therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate terbium-149 in combination with the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) agonist DOTATATE and the SSTR antagonist DOTA-LM3. The radiopeptides were evaluated to compare their therapeutic efficacy in vitro and in vivo.

Purpose: This prospective study aimed to identify risk factors associated with progression to stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the occurrence of kidney stone formation or growth following nephrectomy for urolithiasis.

Materials And Methods: From January 2006 to May 2013, patients undergoing nephrectomy for urolithiasis were enrolled. Renal function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) via the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation, while kidney stone events were detected using computed tomography.

Article Synopsis
  • A 59-year-old man undergoing surveillance for an abdominal aortic aneurysm and peripheral artery disease was evaluated through a CT Angiogram of the aorta.
  • The scan revealed a 6.2cm abdominal aortic aneurysm with significant thrombus, occluded arteries, and calcified stenosis in key blood vessels.
  • A Tc-99m DMSA renal scan was performed to assess the extent of kidney infarction and to evaluate the functional differences between the kidneys.

Background: Tc-DMSA scan plays an important role in assessing functional abnormalities in kidneys. As a promising network for deep learning (DL), Mask R-CNN has the capability of simultaneously segmenting and classifying objects in images. In this study, we tested the feasibility and accuracy of Mask R-CNN in diagnosing acute pyelonephritis (APN) and segmenting kidneys in Tc-DMSA scintigraphic images.
