Current role of Nuclear Medicine in the diagnosis and therapy of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs)
Hell J Nucl Med. 2023 May-Aug;26 Suppl:49-51.ABSTRACTNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs), are heterogenic neoplasms that arise from the disseminated endocrine cell system, primarily from gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) organs. Nuclear Medicine has a central role in both diagnosis and treatment of GEP-NETs. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) is still performed with SPECT/CT in case that PET/CT is not available but numerous studies have demonstrated the superior diagnostic accuracy of the latter for GEP-NETs. 68Ga -Dota peptide PET/CT (SSA-PET/CT) has high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy (86%-100%) and is recommended for t...

Clinical applications of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis and evaluation of musculoskeletal sports injuries
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2020Source: Revista Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (English Edition)Author(s): Montse Minoves FontAbstractIncreased participation in sports and physical exercise are widely promoted as an approach to a physically active lifestyle which has a positive effect on healthy aging, in patients and athletes of all ages, beginners and experts, including amateur athletes and professional athletes. Unfortunately, this has caused a higher incidence of sports-related injuries. In the sports context, the early and accurate diagnosis of injuries is of the utmost importance ...

Biologic reactions at acl graft insertion sites measured by 99mtc-hdp-spect/ct tracer uptake
Conclusions SPECT/CT tracer uptake intensity and distribution showed a significant correlation with the femoral and tibial tunnel position and orientation in patients with symptomatic knees after ACL reconstruction. No correlation was found with stability or clinical laxity. SPECT/CT tracer uptake distribution has the potential to give us important information on joint homeostasis and remodeling after ACL reconstruction. It might help to improve our surgical ACL reconstruction technique by directing us to find the optimal tunnel position based on the results of biological activity with the achievement of joint homeostasis being our goal.

Assessment of in vivo loading history of the patellofemoral joint- a study combining patellar position, tilt, alignment and bone spect/ct tracer uptake/distribution patterns
Conclusions The intensity and distribution of the SPECT/CT significantly correlated with patella infera and patellar tilt angle, measured in conventional radiographs. Hence, SPECT/CT should be considered as imaging modality for evaluating patients with patellofemoral disorders and for follow-up of patients after patellofemoral realignment procedures.

Clinical value of 4d-spect/ct in patients with painful total knee arthroplasty
We reported near perfect inter- and intra-observer reliability for their proposed standardized, easily applicable and reliable SPECT/CT algorithm including a localization scheme, intensity value and 3D prosthetic component analysis. With this specific algorithm the authors aim to identify typical distribution patterns and intensity thresholds of SPECT/CT tracer uptake, which reflect pathologies such as mechanical loosening, instability, component malposition or patellofemoral problems. The primary purpose of the present study is to evaluate the clinical value of the proposed 4D SPECT/CT algorithm including a localization s...

Spondylolysis in the Athlete
Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are common causes of low back pain in athletes. Early diagnosis is crucial in the treatment of spondylolysis, as a period of rest can lead to full recovery in most patients. Radiographs can detect most lesions, but single-photon emission computed tomography scan, bone scan, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging may be necessary in patients with normal radiograph findings or unusual presentations. There is significant variability in the literature regarding bracing, rehabilitation, surgery, and return to play. Most patients recover with nonoperative treatment, but if su...
