Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to measure radioactivity in biopsy tissue specimens using PET/CT imaging to ensure viable tumor sampling and predict the lesion's nature.
  • A total of 49 patients underwent PET/CT-guided biopsies, with all samples showing radioactivity; the mean counting-factor (CF) was significantly higher for malignant lesions compared to benign ones (21.45 vs. 10.76 counts/mCi.mm).
  • The findings indicate that measuring tissue radioactivity can confirm viable sampling and reduce errors in diagnosing lesions, thus providing valuable insights before histopathology.

Dual-tracer PET/CT-targeted, mpMRI-targeted, systematic biopsy, and combined biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer: a pilot study.

Purpose: Growing evidence proved the efficacy of multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)-guided targeted biopsy (TB) in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis, but there is no direct comparison between mpMRI-TB and PSMA PET/CT-TB. Gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) is highly expressed in PCa, which can compensate for the unstable expression of PSMA in PCa. Therefore, we designed a study to compare the efficiency of mpMRI-TB, dual-tracer (GRPR and PSMA) PET/CT-TB, systematic biopsy, and combined biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Background: Deriving individual tumor genomic characteristics from patient imaging analysis is desirable. We explore the predictive value of 2-[18F]FDG uptake with regard to the KRAS mutational status of colorectal adenocarcinoma liver metastases (CLM).

Methods: 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT images, surgical pathology and molecular diagnostic reports of 37 patients who underwent PET/CT-guided biopsy of CLM were reviewed under an IRB-approved retrospective research protocol.
