Purpose Diagnostic tools having reached maturity in breast cancer (BC) diagnosis have, in general, evolved independently. The purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic confidence of an integrated approach to BC patient management,... more
A novel bridged binuclear Cu(II) complex with mixed ligands, di-μ-(2-aminopyridine(N,N′))-bis[(2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate)aquacopper(II)] tetrahydrate, formulated as [Cu(μ-ap)(dipic)(H2O)]2·4H2O (1) (dipic = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate,... more
Purpose: To explore the prognostic value of metabolic tumor volume measured on postradiation ¹F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with head-and-neck cancer. Methods and Materials: Forty-seven... more
Objetive To assess the safety and efficacy of FDG-PET in breast cancer in the diagnostic of primary tumours, lymph node staging, the detection of recurrent disease/metastases, and the assessment of chemotherapy treatment. Methods A... more
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate a 3D tumor segmentation method for fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in the context of noninvasive estimation of tumor metabolic length (L m), as it correlates with... more
A 74-year-old woman presented with symptoms consistent with hyperadrenocorticism and hyperca-techolaminism. She had a cushingoid appearance and her cortisol level was elevated. Her serum dopamine and noradrenalin levels were also... more
18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) is a new diagnostic technique for the diagnosis and staging of cholangiocarcinoma. For diagnosis of a primary cholangiocarcinoma, 18FDG-PET seems to be helpful to... more
The aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest variability of standardized uptake values (SUVs) in normal tissues and the impact of various methods for measuring the SUV. SUVs were determined in 70 cancer-free patients (40 female... more
Synthesis and biological assessment of six novel 2-substituted mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives is performed. The title compounds are characterized by their analytical and spectral data. All the synthesized compounds are screened for... more
Purpose. This study was done to analyse the additional morphological and functional information provided by the integration of [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography ([18F]-FDG-PET) with contrast-enhanced... more
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is inconclusive in up to 20% of patients with solitary thyroid nodules. In these cases, hemithyroidectomy is necessary, but only 20% of the nodules prove to be thyroid carcinoma. The aim of this study... more
Cu-Diacetyl-bis(N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone) (Cu-ATSM) is a recently developed PET imaging agent for tumor hypoxia. However, its accuracy and reliability for measuring hypoxia have not been fully characterized in vivo. The aim of this... more
Mazabraud’s syndrome is a rare disorder, the main characteristics of which are fibrous dysplasia of bone associated with intramuscular myxomas. The metabolic characteristics of intramuscular myxomas, associated with fibrous dysplasia,... more
Recent studies suggest a somewhat selective uptake of O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) in cerebral gliomas and in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a good distinction between tumor and inflammation. The aim of this study was to... more
