Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging of neuroendocrine tumors.
TL;DR: Significant improvements have been made during the past few years with the development of highly specific radiopharmaceuticals for PET studies that reflect the different metabolic pathways of NETs, such as glucose metabolism, the uptake of hormone precursors, and the synthesis, storage, and release of hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal Cardiac Adrenergic Nerve Function in Patients With Syndrome X Detected By [123I]Metaiodobenzylguanidine Myocardial Scintigraphy
Gaetano Antonio Lanza,Alessandro Giordano,Christian Pristipino,Maria Lucia Calcagni,G Meduri,Carlo Trani,Rodolfo Franceschini,Filippo Crea,Luigi Troncone,Attilio Maseri +9 more
TL;DR: The findings of this study strongly support the cardiac origin of chest pain in syndrome X, although the mechanisms and the pathophysiological meaning of the abnormal cardiac MIBG uptake in these patients deserve further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive impairment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease--a neuropsychological and spect study.
Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi,Camillo Marra,Alessandro Giordano,Maria Lucia Calcagni,Antonella Cappa,Salvatore Basso,Gabriella Pagliari,Leonello Fuso +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that anterior cerebral hypoperfusion and selected neuropsychological dysfunctions characterized hypoxemic COPD patients and could herald frontal-type cognitive decline with the worsening of the hypoxemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (F-18 FET) PET for glioma grading: assessment of individual probability of malignancy.
Maria Lucia Calcagni,G. Galli,Alessandro Giordano,Silvia Taralli,Carmelo Anile,Andreas Niesen,Richard P. Baum +6 more
TL;DR: Early-to-middle SUV tumor ratio and Tpeak were the best indices for assessing the grading of gliomas and it is possible to assess the individual probability of high-grade, useful for prognosis and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of positron emission tomography using carbon-11 and fluorine-18 choline in tumors other than prostate cancer: a systematic review
Giorgio Treglia,Elisabetta Giovannini,Davide Di Franco,Maria Lucia Calcagni,Vittoria Rufini,Maria Picchio,Alessandro Giordano +6 more
TL;DR: Limited experience exists about the role of radiolabeled choline PET and PET/CT in patients with head and neck tumors, bladder cancer and gynecologic malignancies including breast cancer, but diagnostic accuracy seems to be superior compared to 18F-FDG PET orPET/CT and conventional imaging methods in patientswith bone and soft tissue tumors.
