Incidental Lung Nodules on Cross-sectional Imaging
Pulmonary nodules are the most common incidental finding in the chest, particularly on computed tomographs that include a portion or all of the chest, and may be encountered more frequently…
PET Cardiac Imaging (Perfusion, Viability, Sarcoidosis, and Infection)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Given the increased availability of radiopharmaceuticals, improved positron emission tomography (PET) camera systems and proven higher diagnostic accuracy, PET is increasingly…
Clinical Applications of PET/MR Imaging
PET/MR imaging is in routine clinical use and is at least as effective as PET/CT for oncologic and neurologic studies with advantages with certain PET radiopharmaceuticals and applications. In addition,…
PET Imaging for Hematologic Malignancies
Hematologic malignancies are a broad category of cancers arising from the lymphoid and myeloid cell lines. The 2016 World Health Organization classification system incorporated molecular markers as part of the…
Clinical Artificial Intelligence Applications
This article gives a brief overview of the development of artificial intelligence in clinical breast imaging. For multiple decades, artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been developed and translated for breast…
PET Imaging for Gynecologic Malignancies
This review article summarizes the clinical applications of established and emerging PET tracers in the evaluation of the 5 most common gynecologic malignancies: endometrial, ovarian, cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers….
Immune PET Imaging
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT is sensitive to metabolic, immune-related, and structural changes that can occur in tumors in cancer immunotherapy. Unique mechanisms of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) occasionally make response evaluation…
PET Imaging for Head and Neck Cancers
Head and neck cancers are commonly encountered cancers in clinical practice in the United States. Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) PET/CT has been clinically applied in staging, occult primary tumor detection,…
Upstream Machine Learning in Radiology
Machine learning (ML) and Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to dramatically improve radiology practice at multiple stages of the imaging pipeline. Most of the attention has been garnered by…
Novel Tracers and Radionuclides in PET Imaging
The use of PET imaging agents in oncology, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease shows the power of this technique in evaluating the molecular and biological characteristics of numerous diseases. These…
