TL;DR: Viable myocardium is characterized by preserved end-diastolic wall thickness and a dobutamine-inducible contraction reserve, and both parameters should be taken into account to maximize the sensitivity of MRI in the detection of regions with signs of viability on FDG-PET images.

TL;DR: Quantitative assessment of dobutamine-induced SWT in chronic infarcts by MRI is a highly accurate predictor of LV functional recovery, and the presence of significantly reduced DWT reliably indicates irreversible myocardial damage.

TL;DR: The results emphasize the importance of effective sonographic screening to detect early thyroid abnomalities in order to initiate preventive and therapeutic measures to prevent the onset or progression of disease and its sequels.

TL;DR: If the Tg level is elevated and 131I WBS is negative, FDG PET can be used to detect lymph node metastases and complements anatomical imaging, andFDG PET cannot be substituted for 131i WBS.

TL;DR: The implementation of whole-body PET with a full ring of detectors in the preoperative staging of patients with NSCLC and normal-sized lymph nodes is clearly cost-effective, however, patients with nodal-positive PET results should not be excluded from biopsy.
