Spect/Ct findings in a large cohort with sacroiliac joint incompetence (siji).
CONCLUSION: We have confirmed the integrity of SPECT/CT in a large cohort of patients with SIJI with specific treatment of the condition yielding good clinical results, in spite of the average length of the clinical history being 3.5 years. The SPECT/CT findings (metabolic changes at the relevant bone-ligamentous interface) and the clinical progress of patients confirm the validity of the self-bracing mechanism proposed by Vleeming and Lee (1998).

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.

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...

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...

Nuclear Medicine Radiation Exposure and COVID-19 Pertaining to V/Q Lung Studies; A Technologist Perspective
Conclusion: Eliminating the ventilation portion of the exam and performing SPECT/CT provides for a considerably faster exam time with comparable radiation exposure to the patient. Furthermore, it significantly reduces the radiation exposure to a technologist by decreasing the time spent with the patients, is less reliant of patient cooperation and provides for technically better-quality studies. The additional major benefit is reducing the COVID-19 exposure to technologists during the pandemic.

Systematic review of innovative diagnostic tests for chronic exertional compartment syndrome
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1866-5957The diagnosis chronic exertional compartment syndrome is traditionally linked to elevated intracompartmental pressures, although uncertainty regarding this diagnostic instrument is increasing. The aim of current review was to evaluate literature for alternative diagnostic tests. A search in line with PRISMA criteria was conducted. Studies evaluating diagnostic tests for chronic exertional compartment syndrome other than intracompartmental pressure measurements were included. Bias and quality of studies were evaluated using the Oxford Levels of Evidence and the QUADAS-2 instrument. A...

A Portable Non-Invasive Biosensor Based Approach to Actively Assess Sports Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (P5.299)
CONCLUSIONS:A physiologically focused battery of activated EEG tasks is able to probe elements of brain circuits not presently assessed with standard resting state (Eyes Open or Eyes Closed) quantitative EEG. The simplicity of the MindReader approach offers an alternative approach to rapidly, portably and non-invasively assess brain health. Multivariate models can enhance diagnostic accuracy, although further work extending these preliminary results is required to develop the necessary activated EEG signatures to map the brain for its age-related, normal and abnormal signatures.Study Supported by: Cerora, Inc and TIRHRDisc...

IAEA Support to Medical Physics in Nuclear Medicine
Through its programmatic efforts and its publications, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has helped define the role and responsibilities of the nuclear medicine physicist in the practice of nuclear medicine. This paper describes the initiatives that the IAEA has undertaken to support medical physics in nuclear medicine. In 1984, the IAEA provided guidance on how to ensure that the equipment used for detecting, imaging, and quantifying radioactivity is functioning properly (Technical Document [TECDOC]-137, “Quality Control of Nuclear Medicine Instruments”). An updated version of IAEA-TECDOC-137 was issued in...
