TL;DR: It is suggested that for solid pulmonary lesions with low 18F-FDGPET uptake, semiquantitative approaches do not improve the accuracy of 18F -FDG PET over that obtained with visual analysis, and intra- and interobserver variabilities indicated that visual and SUV analyses were quite reproducible, whereas CR analysis was poorly reproduced.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the quality of images acquired from heavier patients can be maintained only by scanning for longer periods, and increasing the dose per kilogram of body weight did not improve thequality of lutetium oxyorthosilicate PET/CT images.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the laterality of NP-59 uptake primarily depends on the adenoma volume, although the uptake somewhat reflects the ability to secrete aldosterone or the adnoma cell's activity in accumulating it.

TL;DR: Myocardial ischaemia, in addition to glycaemic control, is a strong prognostic marker for asymptomatic patients with diabetic CKD who are scheduled to start haemodialysis and Stress MPI is highly recommended for the management and therapeutic stratification of such patients.

TL;DR: 18F-FDG PET/CT could accurately detect recurrent CRC irrespective of the elevated CEA concentration, and was significantly correlated with cancer volumes.
