Journal Article
Integrated Software for the Analysis of Brain PET/SPECT Studies with Partial-Volume-Effect Correction
Mario Quarantelli,Karim Berkouk,Anna Prinster,Brigitte Landeau,Claus Svarer,László Balkay,Bruno Alfano,Arturo Brunetti,Jean-Claude Baron,Jean-Claude Baron,Marco Salvatore +10 more
TL;DR: Coupling of automated ROI placement and PVEc provides a tool for integrated analysis of brain PET/MRI data, which allows a recovery of true GM ROI values, with a high degree of accuracy when R-PVEc or mMG-Pvec is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grey matter loss in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: a voxel-based morphometry study.
Anna Prinster,Mario Quarantelli,Giuseppe Orefice,Roberta Lanzillo,Arturo Brunetti,Carmine Mollica,Elena Salvatore,V. Brescia Morra,G. Coppola,G. Vacca,Bruno Alfano,Marco Salvatore +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that in RR-MS cortical GM reduction preferentially involves left fronto-temporal structures and deep GM, the latter correlating preferentialially to global lesion load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging of adrenal tumors using FDG PET: comparison of benign and malignant lesions.
Simone Maurea,Ciro Mainolfi,Lucio Bazzicalupo,Maria Rosaria Panico,Carmela Imparato,Bruno Alfano,Mario Ziviello,Marco Salvatore +7 more
TL;DR: PET imaging with FDG can metabolically characterize adrenal masses and reveal extraadrenal tumor sites in patients with malignant tumors, using a single imaging technique for accurate disease staging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain atrophy and lesion load in a large population of patients with multiple sclerosis
Gioacchino Tedeschi,Luigi Lavorgna,Pierluigi Russo,Anna Prinster,D. Dinacci,Giovanni Savettieri,A. Quattrone,P. Livrea,Corrado Messina,Arturo Reggio,Vincenzo Bresciamorra,Giuseppe Orefice,M. Paciello,Arturo Brunetti,G. Coniglio,S. Bonavita,A. Di Costanzo,A. Bellacosa,Paola Valentino,Mario Quarantelli,Francesco Patti,Giuseppe Salemi,E. Cammarata,Isabella Laura Simone,Marco Salvatore,V. Bonavita,Bruno Alfano +26 more
TL;DR: Patients with multiple sclerosis have significant atrophy of both white matter (WM) and gray matter (GM), and GM atrophy is the most significant MRI variable in determining the final disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between fatigue and brain atrophy and lesion load in multiple sclerosis patients independent of disability
Gioacchino Tedeschi,D. Dinacci,Luigi Lavorgna,Anna Prinster,Giovanni Savettieri,A. Quattrone,P. Livrea,Corrado Messina,Arturo Reggio,G. Servillo,Vincenzo Bresciamorra,Giuseppe Orefice,M. Paciello,Arturo Brunetti,Arturo Brunetti,Andrea Paolillo,G. Coniglio,S. Bonavita,Alfonso Di Costanzo,A. Bellacosa,Paola Valentino,Mario Quarantelli,Francesco Patti,Giuseppe Salemi,Enrico Cammarata,Isabella Laura Simone,Marco Salvatore,Marco Salvatore,Vincenzo Bonavita,Bruno Alfano +29 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that among MS patients with low disability those with high-fatigue show higher WM and GM atrophy and higher lesion load, and that female sex and higher levels of education may play a protective role towards fatigue.
