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…
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,…
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…
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….
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…
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,…
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…
Precision medicine integrates molecular pathobiology, genetic make-up, and clinical manifestations of disease in order to classify patients into subgroups for the purposes of predicting treatment response and suggesting outcome. By…
The clinical management of melanoma patients has been rapidly evolving with the introduction of new targeted immuno-oncology (IO) therapeutics. The current diagnostic paradigms for melanoma patients begins with the histopathologic…
The role of PET imaging with 11 C-choline and 18 F-fluciclovine in evaluating patients with prostate cancer (PCa) has become more important over the years and has been incorporated into…
