Abstract
Preclinical studies have indicated that somatostatin receptor (sst)-expressing tumors demonstrate higher uptake of radiolabeled sst antagonists than of sst agonists. In this study, we evaluated whether imaging with sst antagonists was feasible in patients.

Abstract
Recently, the assessment of the muscles using limb MRI and whole body MRI has become widely available and more frequent. In cases of muscular dystrophies it may help to select the optimal muscles for biopsy, because the severely atrophic and degenerated muscles are not suitable for h...

Abstract
We aimed at validating the use of DXA in monitoring change in the thigh lean soft tissue mass (LSTM) and fat mass (FM) when compared with thigh skeletal muscle mass (SM) and FM, measured using MRI as the reference standard, from childhood to midadolescence. At baseline, 22 healthy children (16 boys...

Abstract
The imaging of systemic disorders without radiation exposure by whole-body MRI (wb-MRI) represents a paradigm shift for pediatric radiology. The reduction of multiple regional examinations, if necessary under sedation, results in a faster treatment start. Modern scanner techniques using automatic ta...

We retrospectively reviewed 389 differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients who underwent a total thyroidectomy and received high-dose RAI from January 2003 through December 2005. The patients were classified according to surveillance DxWBS findings and TSH-stimulated Tg levels 6 to 12 months after th...

Medical Image Analysis (14)6 2010
Abstract
We propose a method that divides the problem into an atlas constrained registration based on high-contrast organs in Micro-CT (skeleton, lungs and skin), and a soft tissue approximation step for low-contrast organs. We first present a modification of the MOBY mouse atlas (Segars et al., 2004) by par...

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a continuously moving table (CMT) represents a novel method allowing for the seamless acquisition of an extended field-of-view in the z-direction. One option to realize CMT MRI from a technical point of view is based on very fast sequences like echo planar imagi...

We report 2 cases, confirming that the lesions of NSG are FDG positive, showing a typical pattern of multiple bilateral lung nodules (imaged with PET/CT in 1 case). FDG imaging has a potential role when this distribution is observed on CT, to guide the surgical biopsy and show the actual extent of t...

Myeloid sarcoma is a tumor formed by extramedullary accumulation of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells. These tumors can develop in lymphoid organs, bone, skin, soft tissue, and other organs, and may precede or occur concurrently with acute myeloid leukemia. This is a case of a 42-year-old man wh...

Abstract
We used bioluminescent strains of Staphylococcus aureus to monitor the formation of infection foci during the first 24 h of hematogenous bacterial dissemination. Clinically derived EDIN-expressing S. aureus strains S25 and Xen36 produced many disseminated foci. EDIN had no detectable impact on infec...
