The decrease in CMRgl may indicate early changes of mild cerebral hypoxia–ischaemia. No significant effect of hyperoxic resuscitation on the degree of hypometabolism was found in this early phase after hypoxia. Cerebral FDG PET can provide new insights into mechanisms of perinatal hypoxic–ischaemic injury where early detection plays an important role in instituting therapy.

Adaptive thresholding techniques need to be calibrated for each PET scanner and acquisition/processing protocol, and should not be used without optimization.

Interestingly, visual analysis of FLT PET led to two false-positive findings by misinterpreting physiological bowel uptake as pathological FLT uptake in the pancreas. Due to the limited number of patients, the clinical value of adding FLT PET to the diagnostic workup of pancreatic tumours remains to be determined.

Differences in 11C-methionine PET/MRI integration patterns can be assigned to tumour grades according to the WHO classification. This finding may improve tumour delineation and therapy planning for gliomas.

However, the low specificity of the visual PET scan assessment could be improved by the use of specific training and automatic or semiautomatic quantification tools.

The relative dosimetry approach based on planar imaging largely underestimates doses relative to reference values. Dosimetry based on planar bremsstrahlung imaging is not a dependable alternative to 111In dosimetry.

However, more than half of the uptake sites in our study were vascular in nature, without therapeutic implications. The risk of coregistration errors must also be kept in mind.

The attendance was reassuringly high, in line with other EANM congresses, despite the current ‘Eurozone Crisis’. Participants from 87 countries came along, met old friends and made new ones. They were presented with a massive programme of 1,480 abstracts, symposia, and CME, scientific, plenary and featured sessions. The industry made a substantial contribution to the success of the congress with 109 hardware, software and radiopharmaceutical companies demonstrating the latest technology and innovations in the field. A feature in this year’s congress was the emphasis on the role of the young generation. The highlight lect...

However, MRI was more sensitive. Thus, SPECT/CT was shown to be a useful problem-solving tool in the diagnostic work-up of these patients.

In particular, 18F-choline PET/CT is recommended in patients with PSA >2 ng/ml, PSAdt ≤6 months and PSAve >2 ng/ml per year. CT is useful for detecting bone metastases that are not 18F-choline-avid. The use of intravenous contrast agent seems unnecessary.

Results obtained with PBIF were slightly better than those obtained with IDIF. Due to arteriovenous concentration differences, venous samples cannot be substituted for arterial samples.

The SA of 6-[18F]FDA was improved by 50- to 500-fold compared to previous electrophilic methods. Uptake of 6-[18F]FDA was specific in various peripheral organs, indicating that 6-[18F]FDA PET can be used to investigate sympathoneural functions beyond cardiac studies when higher specific uptake is achieved.

Absorbed doses to spleen were lower than those previously estimated using 111In-ibritumomab tiuxetan. The dose-limiting organ in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation is the liver.

Three-dimensional dosimetry using single photon emission computed tomography/CT could be applied to investigate this issue further. Delayed (72 h) images are most suitable for drawing regions of interest for dosimetric calculations.

The higher uptake into INS-1 xenograft tumors exhibited by [18F]FBEM-[Cys40]-exendin-4 suggests that this compound would be the better tracer for imaging GLP-1R.

In the case of low expression, both tumour uptake and tumour-to-organ ratios are appreciably higher for three-helix than for two-helix HER2-targeting Affibody molecules.

We could not identify reliable clinicopathological risk factors which could predict results of SLNB in thin melanomas. Based on our results, SLNB may be considered in patients with a melanoma of thickness in the range 0.90–0.99 mm, because all SLN-positive patients belonged to this subgroup.

Highly significant relative decreases in metabolism were found in large frontal and parietal regions in the bulbar onset patients as compared with the spinal onset patients and the controls, suggesting a differential metabolic and neuropsychological state between the two conditions.

In addition to patient convenience and reduced radiation exposure from the CT component, the combined 18F-FDG/18F-NaF PET/CT scan appeared to increase the sensitivity for detection of osseous lesions compared to the 18F-FDG-only PET/CT scan in the studied population.

After 6 months off therapy, metabolic activity diminished towards baseline. The modulation of 99mTc-MDP skeletal uptake during treatment was the result of teriparatide’s metabolic activity. These findings may aid the radiological evaluation of similar teriparatide patients having radionuclide bone scans.

The remarkable and prompt improvement in the global CMRglu and in symptoms may also have important implications for the current concept of “neuronal plasticity” and for the cells’ reactivity in order to recover their metabolic function.

Besides its potential role in detecting CVC-related infection during febrile neutropenia, the high negative predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT is important for avoiding unnecessary diagnostic tests and therapy.

This study also suggests MTV and TLG are better prognostic measures than SUVmax and SUVmean. These results will need to be validated in larger cohorts in a prospective study.

However, body habitus and renal function also influence tissue biodistribution, in a synergistic fashion. Compared with a fixed-dose peptide receptor radionuclide therapy protocol, an adjusted-dose regimen tailored to tumour burden, body habitus and renal function may allow greater radiation dose to individual lesions without substantially adding to toxicity in normal tissues.

However, for its high specificity, [11C]choline PET/CT positive findings may accurately predict the presence of BM. Equivocal findings are more frequent in BS than [11C]choline PET/CT.

Most telling has been the revelation that current strategies fall short of achieving sufficient retention and engraftment of cells to meet the ambitious objective of myocardial regeneration. This has sparked novel research into the refinement of cell biology and delivery to overcome these shortcomings. Within this context, molecular imaging has emerged as a valuable tool for providing noninvasive surveillance of cell fate in vivo. Direct and indirect labelling of cells can be coupled with clinically relevant imaging modalities, such as radio...

Pharmacological agents continue to be the predominant form of stress. Despite the widespread use of technetium-99m-labelled tracers, ECG gating is not universally performed. As in the 2005 survey, imaging aids such as attenuation and motion correction and prone imaging are not commonly used.

The latter illustrates the need for optimizing imaging parameters and/or for careful calibration and optimization of delineation methods.

Short-lived radionuclides are predicted to deliver high tumor absorbed doses especially 211At, with kidneys being the dose-limiting organ. 177Lu and 131I should be considered for repeated injections.

Its NPV remains exceptionally high and a negative post-treatment scan is highly suggestive of absence of viable disease that can guide therapeutic decision-making. Timing of post-treatment imaging has a significant, though moderate impact on diagnostic accuracy.
