Effective dose in nuclear medicine studies and SPECT-CT - Dosimetry survey across Quebec province.
Conclusion: Since 2010, there has been a significant decrease in the delivered effective dose in myocardial perfusion and 67Ga-Citrate studies. The CT portions of the surveyed SPECT/CT studies contribute for a relatively small fraction of the total delivered effective dose. PMID: 29273698 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

How often suspected pulmonary embolism is diagnosed and its main diagnostic characteristics, in an emergency nuclear medicine service? Four years experience.
CONCLUSION: Lung perfusion scintigraphy could early diagnose APE in 16.7% of the cases (referred to our Nuclear Medicine Emergency Service) and exclude APE in 83.3% of these cases. Immediate treatment or release of these patients from the emergency department was thus possible. LPS has a key role in the early diagnosis but even more in exclusion of APE, optimizing the management of patients who do not require admission to intensive care. Our four-year and large-scale experience, based on clinical and resource optimization, support the need of Nuclear Medicine Units to perform LPS as emergency in on-call 24 hrs service. ...

Computed tomography (CT) imaging evaluation of integrated traditional Chinese medicine cooperative therapy in treating acute cerebral infarction: A randomized controlled trial
This study plan randomly divided eligible acute cerebral infarction patients into two groups. Patients in the control group will be treated with conventional Western medicine; patients in the intervention group will be treated with traditional Chinese medicine cooperative therapy on the basis of conventional Western medicine. The curative effects will be selected before treatment, 2 weeks after treatment, and 3 months follow-up. The changes in CT imaging evaluation, NIHSS score, and BI index of the two groups of patients will be observed. Discussion: We aim to provide higher evidence-based medical evidence for tradition...

The Potential Roles of Nuclear Medicine in the Evaluation of Long Haulers From the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusion: Diagnostic procedures in Nuclear Medicine such as PET/CT and body scintigraphy has the potential to allow us to detect, monitor and evaluate COVID-19 disease complications and related organ damage in long-haulers. When utilized in conjunction to other imaging techniques, Nuclear Medicine can help provide additional anatomic and functional information to evaluate issues in COVID-19 long haulers.

Seeing the big picture: The importance of reviewing the entire field of view in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and the role of the Nuclear Medicine Technologist
Conclusion: The NMT can have a tremendous impact in exploring possible incidental findings in nuclear imaging. The NMT, in many clinical imaging units, is the last quality control check prior to the patient being released after exam completion. With careful review of the entire imaging FOV, an NMT can help identify possible incidental findings that can be explored prior to the patient leaving the department. This, as in the case described above, can lead to profound changes in patient management and a more expedited process for addressing those findings. For these reasons, it is important that the entire FOV, as well as al...

Johann Sebastian Bach's "Goldberg variations" to treat insomnia from renal lithiasis pain. Sleep research in Nuclear Medicine.
In conclusion, insomnia is an interesting research field-however neglected by modern neuroimaging. Especially nuclear medicine provides the researcher with tools which offer a better spatial resolution and patient comfort than does the current gold standard EEG. Why not look at it-of course, with Bach's "Goldberg variations" in your minds? PMID: 27035907 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Expect the Unexpected: Incidental and Unexpected Findings in Nuclear Medicine Studies.
Conclusions With greater emphasis on and increased utilization of medical imaging it is essential that all components of the nuclear medicine exam be reviewed, including regions outside the area of clinical concern. With representative cases of clinically significant incidental findings encountered in day to day practice, we highlight the importance of evaluating all components of the study and discuss how to plan for the further workup and management of these findings.

AI-based methods for nuclear-medicine imaging: Need for objective task-specific evaluation
Conclusions: The results motivate the need for objective evaluation of AI-based methods for nuclear-medicine imaging on clinically relevant tasks[11] as evaluation with conventional metrics may not capture that aspect of the performance. Further, the results motivate optimization of AI-based approaches on clinically relevant tasks.

Perfusion lung scans without ventilation part: COVID 19 experience in a large trauma hospital
Conclusion: The ventilation part of lung scans is required only in a small number of patients for certain interpretation of the result. The Perfusion part of lung scans is sufficient for evaluation of acute PE with certainty in most patients.

The Application Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing on General Anesthesia Combined with Epidural Anesthesia and Electric Resection for the Treatment of Bladder Cancer and Its Influence on Tumor Markers
CONCLUSION: Traditional Chinese medicine nursing has significant clinical effects on the treatment of bladder cancer with general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia and electric resection. It can more effectively prevent the risk of recurrence of bladder cancer after surgery, significantly improve the quality of life, improve immune system function, regulate the levels of VECF and BTA, effectively reduce the level of serum inflammatory factors, inhibit tumor progression, and reduce tumor viability.PMID:35075365 | PMC:PMC8783706 | DOI:10.1155/2022/7178711

Early COPD diagnosis possible with nuclear medicine
(Society of Nuclear Medicine) In vivo ventilation/perfusion imaging can detect early changes to the lung caused by cigarette smoke exposure and provides a noninvasive method for studying lung dysfunction in preclinical models, according to research published in the April issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. These measures have the potential to be applied clinically to study and diagnose the early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Letter From the Guest Editor: Update in Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine (Part II)
This is Part 2 of an update in Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine, focusing here on cardiac PET. The issue opens with a comprehensive review by Drs Maddahi and Packard on the state of PET perfusion tracers. While clinical PET perfusion is currently limited to 82Rb and 13NH3, newer agents under investigation, such as 18F flurpiridaz, promise to make PET more widely accessible and to produce images that are even better than those with current tracers. The clinical utility of perfusion PET has been extensively investigated by the team at the Brigham and Women׳s Hospital, with the superb review by Drs Dorbala and DiCarli demonst...

Highlights lecture EANM 2015: the search for nuclear medicine ’s superheroes
AbstractThe EANM 2015 Annual Congress, held from October 10th to 14th in Hamburg, Germany, was outstanding in many respects. With 5550 participants, this was by far the largest European congress concerning nuclear medicine. More than 1750 scientific presentations were submitted, with more than 250 abstracts from young scientists, indicating that the future success of our discipline is fuelled by a high number of young individuals becoming involved in a multitude of scientific activities. Significant improvements have been made in molecular imaging of cancer, particularly in prostate cancer. PSMA-directed PET/CT appears to ...
