PET/PET-CT is an important technique to investigate the central mechanism of acupuncture . This article collected original research papers with keywords of "Acupuncture," "PET," "PET/CT," and "Positron emission tomography" in PubMed and CNKI databases from January 2003 to December 2018. As a result, a total of 43 articles were included. Based on the literature analyses, we found that (1) reasonable arrangement of the operation process and the choice of appropriate acupuncture intervention time is conducive to a better interpretation of acupuncture-PET/PET-CT mechanism and (2) the selection of participants, sample size, acupuncture intervention, and experimental conditions would affect study results. Therefore, effective quality control is an important way to ensure the repeatability of research results.

Predicting epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status of lung adenocarcinoma based on PET/CT images using deep learning.
Front Oncol
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China.
Background: The aim of this study is to develop deep learning models based on F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomographic (F-FDG PET/CT) images for predicting individual epidermal growth factor receptor () mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: We enrolled 430 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer from two institutions in this study. The advanced Inception V3 model to predict EGFR mutations based on PET/CT images and developed CT, PET, and PET + CT models was used.
Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) is a state-of-the-art diagnostic method of nuclear medicine, used for diagnostics of many pathological states in the organism, first and foremost in oncological issues. The first analysis of utilization and potential utilization of PET in the Czech Republic was published in 2013. In the following years, there was a sharp increase in a number of PET/CT and PET/MRI scanners in the country; in 2013-2021, it doubled.

Clin Nucl Med
October 2024
From the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Changhua Christian Hospital, Changhua.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of 18 F-FDG PET or PET/CT with FDG PET/MR in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed for studies reporting the diagnostic performance of FDG PET (PET/CT) and FDG PET/MR in IBD from the inception of the database to March 14, 2024, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Fourteen studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography Oncological Applications beyond Prostate Cancer in Comparison to Other Radiopharmaceuticals.
Diagnostics (Basel)
May 2024
Nuclear Medicine Unit, Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, "Magna Graecia" University of Catanzaro, 88100 Catanzaro, Italy.
Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells in most of the patients affected by prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa). However, PSMA expression has also been demonstrated in the endothelial cells of newly formed vessels of various solid tumors, suggesting a role for PSMA in neoangiogenesis. In this scenario, gallium-68 (Ga) or fluoro-18 (F)-labeled PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) may play a role in tumors other than PCa, generally evaluated employing other radiopharmaceuticals targeting different pathways.
