Tissue hypoxia results from an inadequate supply of oxygen (O2) that compromises biological functions. Structural and functional abnormalities of the tumour vasculature together with altered diffusion conditions inside the tumour seem to... more
Summary: Rasmussen encephalitis is a chronic, progres- sive inflammation of the brain of unknown origin. Early diagnosis and treatment with immunoactive agents and/or hemispherectomy are sought to prevent the progressive cognitive decline... more
Prospective evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and both single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and planar bone scintigraphy was undertaken in 31 temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of 21 symptomatic patients. When... more
Purpose The aim of this study was to improve the uniformity of the axial spatial resolution and sensitivity in pinhole single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and to extend the axial field of view, by using a dedicated... more
Myocardial perfusion and regional wall motion during adenosine-induced coronary vasodilation were assessed in 40 patients with angina pectoris by technetium-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and simultaneous... more
Neuroimaging plays a major role in the evaluation of patients with neurologic disorders. The utility of various neuroimaging studies is rapidly increasing in both clinical and research settings. Neurologists should learn about the... more
Preparations of d,l- and meso-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HM-PAO) labeled with technetium-99m were added to rat brain homogenates diluted with phosphate buffer (l: 10). The conversion of d,l-HM-PAO to hydrophilic forms took place with... more
PET is a technique with a strong potential for use in drug evaluation and development. In particular, the distribution and pharmacokinetics of locally administered drugs may be advantageously explored noninvasively using labeled... more
Hippocampal volume is a core biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its contribution over the standard diagnostic workup is unclear. Three hundred fifty-six patients, under clinical evaluation for cognitive impairment, with... more
