Conclusion
131I-IAZGP can detect hypoxia in microscopic tumors. Microscopic tumors are useful models for the validation of hypoxia radiotracers,
and digital autoradiography is an appropriate technique for studying the distribution of hypoxia radiotracers in microscopic
tumors.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The results of this survey show that there is wide heterogeneity in the current practice of multimodality imaging in Europe.
This situation may limit the full potential and integration of multimodality imaging within the clinical arena. There is a
strong desire within both specialties for the development of interdisciplinary training to address some of these issues.

Clinical impact of 11C-methionine PET on expected management of patients with brain neoplasmEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion
11C-MET PET can provide useful information in initial diagnosis and differentiating tumor recurrence from radiation necrosis.
The intended management was changed in half of the scans. Since a few cases did not receive the requisite treatment due to
false-negative results of 11C-MET PET, management decision should be made carefully, especially in the case of a negative scan.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The results support a model in which hypoxia-enhanced uptake of radiotoxic 64Cu induces sufficient DNA damage and toxicity to overcome the documented radioresistance in hypoxic MCF-7 cells. This suggests
that 64Cu-ATSM and related complexes have potential for targeted radionuclide therapy of hypoxic tumours.

Abstract The aim of this guideline is to provide a minimum standard for the acquisition and interpretation of PET and PET/CT scans
with [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). This guideline will therefore address general information about [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) and is provided to help the physician and physicist to assist
to carrying out, interpret, and document quantitative FDG PET/CT examinations, but will concentrate on the optimisation of
diagnostic quality and quantitative information.

Conclusion Motion-correction software must be used with caution when trying to optimize myocardial perfusion SPECT based on individual

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract This review focuses on the present status of kidney protection during peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using radiolabelled
somatostatin analogues. This treatment modality for somatostatin receptor-positive tumours is limited by renal reabsorption
and retention of radiolabelled peptides resulting in dose-limiting high kidney radiation doses. Radiation nephropathy has
been described in several patients. Studies on the mechanism and localization demonstrate that renal uptake of radiolabelled
somatostatin analogues largely depends on the megalin/cubulin system in the proximal tubule cells. T...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The bilateral reduction in limbic parahippocampal and right temporal [11C]FMZ binding found in MDD indicates decreased GABAA-benzodiazepine receptor complex affinity and/or number. The inverse relationship between GABAA binding in the temporal lobe and HPA axis activity, suggests that HPA axis hyperactivity is partly due to reduced GABA-ergic
inhibition.

[18F]F15599, a novel 5-HT1A receptor agonist, as a radioligand for PET neuroimagingEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion [18F]F15599 is a radiofluorinated agonist presenting interesting characteristics for probing in vitro and in vivo the high-affinity
states of the 5-HT1A receptors. Its differential labelling of 5-HT1A receptors in vitro and in vivo may result from its reported preferential interaction with receptors coupled to specific G-protein
subtypes.

Potential impact of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT on stereotactic radiotherapy planning of meningiomasEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion
68Ga-DOTATOC-PET enables delineation of SR-positive meningiomas and delivers additional information to both CT and MRI regarding
the planning of stereotactic radiotherapy. The acquisition on a PET/CT scanner helps to estimate the relation of PET findings
to anatomical structures and is especially useful for detection of osseous infiltration. 68Ga-DOTATOC-PET also allows detection of additional lesions in patients with multiple meningiomas.

A dose-effect correlation for radioiodine ablation in differentiated thyroid cancerEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions A successful ablation is strongly dependent on the absorbed dose to the thyroid remnant. Dosimetry-based personalized treatment
can prevent both sub-optimal administrations, which entails further radioiodine therapy, and excessive administration of radioactivity,
which increases the potential for radiation toxicity.

Recombinant human TSH and ablation of post-surgical thyroid remnants in differentiated thyroid cancer: the effect of pre-treatment with furosemide and furosemide plus lithiumEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion rhTSH is highly effective for post-surgical thyroid remnant ablation in low-risk cancer patients using the low 30-mCi dose
protocol combined with the short 4-day withdrawal of L-T4. Moreover, in these patients the pre-treatment with furosemide seems
to play an important role to further improve the outcome of ablation by reducing the iodine pool.
