SPECT/CT in pediatric patient management.
Abstract Hybrid SPECT/CT imaging is becoming the standard of care in pediatric imaging. Indications are mainly for oncologic imaging including mIBG scintigraphy for neuroblastoma and I-123 post surgical imaging of children with thyroid carcinoma, bone scintigraphy for back pain, children referred from sports medicine and neurodevelopmentally delayed children presenting with pain symptoms. The studies provide improved diagnostic accuracy, and oncologic imaging that includes optimized CT as part of the SPECT/CT study may decrease the number of studies and sedation procedures an individual child may need. The studies...

A Preliminary Study of Ankle Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography in Patients With Bony Impingement Syndrome: Association With the Visual Analogue Scale Pain Score
Publication date: Available online 13 March 2019Source: The Journal of Foot and Ankle SurgeryAuthor(s): Xin-Yun Zhang, Zhen-Kui Sun, Wei-Jun Wei, Zhong-Ling Qiu, Chen-Tian Shen, Hong-Jun Song, Zhong-Min Shi, Quan-Yong LuoAbstractBoth osteoarthritis and impingement syndrome are the disorders commonly observed in sports medicine. However, failure in pain alleviation by surgical intervention introduces challenges in the diagnosis and decision-making for orthopedists. Hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) provides both functional and structural information of ankle pathology. The purp...

A Portable Non-Invasive Biosensor Based Approach To Actively Assess Cognitive Function And Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (P5.332)
CONCLUSIONS: A physiologically focused battery of activated tasks in combination with a multi-modal biosensor based system provide the means to probe elements of brain circuitry not presently assessed with standard quantitative EEG. The simplicity of the MindReader approach offers a novel alternative to rapidly, portably and non-invasively assess brain health and function. Multi-variate predictive models offer an opportunity to enhance classifier performance, although further work extending these preliminary results is required to develop the necessary activated biomarker signatures to map the brain for its physiological d...

EKA survey: diagnosis of prosthetic knee joint infection
ConclusionMicrobiology and cell count remain the most commonly applied synovial fluid tests in Europe, while α-defensin and leucocyte esterase are currently less common. Serum interleukins have not gained widespread use. Implant sonication, despite evidence of diagnostic effectiveness, was only applied by one-third of survey respondents, highlighting the problematic issues of cost and accessibility of som e tools. The results highlight the current state of European diagnostic practice, emphasizing the areas of divergence from state of evidence and demonstrating the need for development of standard diagnostic algorithms.Le...

Nuclear Medicine in Germany. Updated key data and trends from official statistics.
CONCLUSION: With increased use of hybrid technologies, the nuclear medicine spectrum shows positive trends especially in nuclear cardiology and extra-thyroid therapy. These developments must be taken into account when amending regulations of specialist training and medical student teaching. PMID: 28265641 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

An investigation for reproducibility of FP-CIT SPECT in patients with DLB.
Conclusion: The inter-observer reproducibility by Bolt's method was limited in this study. On the other hand, our method was reproducible. In other words, SBR-ours was not affected by operator's decisions, therefore, might be useful in evaluation of dopamine transporter in patients with DLB. Research Support:

Henry N. Wagner, Jr MD
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Dr. Henry N. Wagner Jr., on Sept. 25, 2012. He held the posts of professor of medicine, professor of radiology and professor of environmental health sciences. His over 600 publications covered all aspects of the field of Nuclear Medicine from SPECT to PET, from Hg-203 to Tc-99m and from C-11 to F-18, from organ function to neurochemistry through receptor and enzyme binding to in vitro radiometric studies to probe analysis of specific binding (the nuclear stethoscope). He wrote numerous key review articles mapping the direction of nuclear medicine, served on numerous co...

Applying Image GentlySM and Image WiselySM in Nuclear Medicine.
Abstract ABSTRACT: Although computed tomography (CT) scan radiation dose has drawn much attention, radiation dose from nuclear medicine procedures should not be overlooked. An estimated 19.7 million nuclear medicine procedures are done annually in the United States, with patient radiation dose comparable to that from CT scans. Nuclear medicine departments should implement Image Gently and Image Wisely recommendations to reduce nuclear medicine patient radiation dose. Pediatric administered radiopharmaceutical doses should be compared with the North American Consensus Guidelines for Administered Radiopharmaceutical...

Strengthening Radiopharmacy Practice in IAEA Member States
Radiopharmaceuticals are essential components of nuclear medicine procedures. Without radiopharmaceuticals nuclear medicine procedures cannot be performed. Therefore it could be said that ‘No radiopharmaceutical-no nuclear medicine.’ A good radiopharmacy practice supports nuclear medicine activities by producing radiopharmaceuticals that are safe and are of the required quality in a consistent way. As with any medicinal product, radiopharmaceuticals are required to be produced under carefully controlled conditions and are tested for their quality, prior to the administration to patients, using validated standard operat...
