They use radioactive materials to diagnose and treat diseases. Utilizing techniques such as scintigraphy, these physicians analyze images of the body's organs to visualize certain diseases. They may also use radiopharmaceuticals to treat hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, tumors, and bone cancer.</p> en-US Journal of Nuclear Medicine http://medicalresearch.be/index.php/jnm/article/view/50 <p>Our objective was to assess the anxiety level in cancer patients undergoing nuclear medicine exams and to identify how professionals can improve patient experience the drug was prepared in an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5 environment. Multiple dry baths and needle types were used to investigate the effects of reaction temperature and metal contamination, respectively. Temperature curves were obtained with a calibrated thermocouple. The influence of the accuracy of the NETSPOT reagent volume and its effect on outcome were investigated.&nbsp;<strong>Results:</strong>&nbsp;The AccuBlock dry bath required recalibration for the ISO 5 environment; after calibration, the temperature was stable (only ±0.1°C from the set point).</p> Solin Johansson * Copyright (c) 2022 2022-01-30 2022-01-30 1 01 http://medicalresearch.be/index.php/jnm/article/view/51 <p>Prospective monocentric study including 35 patients with biopsy-proven EC undergoing preoperative&nbsp;¹⁸F-FDG PET/MRI&nbsp;(December 2018–March 2021) for staging purpose. Histological examination was the reference standard. PET (SUV_max, SUV_mean&nbsp;with a threshold of 40% of SUV_max–SUV_mean40, metabolic tumor volume, total lesion glycolysis) and&nbsp;MRI&nbsp;(volume index [VI], total tumor volume, tumor volume ratio [TVR],&nbsp;At the patient level, the model's performance (ROC AUC = 0.811; P = 0.007) was superior to that of conventional PET metrics. Furthermore, the radiomic model showed robustness when validated in treatment subgroups.</p> Lewis wang* Copyright (c) 2022 2022-02-01 2022-02-01 1 01
