Journal ArticleDOI

Positron emission tomography with [18F]fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose for diagnosis and staging of bile duct cancer

TL;DR: PET is highly sensitive and specific for the detection and localization of CC and can be helpful for diagnosis of distant metastases but is not suitable for detection of regional lymph node metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin and dopamine transporter imaging in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TL;DR: Severity of OCD symptoms showed a significant negative correlation with thalamic/hypothalamic SERT availability, and data provide evidence for imbalanced monoaminergic neurotransmitter modulation in OCD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced α4β2*–Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Binding and Its Relationship to Mild Cognitive and Depressive Symptoms in Parkinson Disease

TL;DR: There is a broad reduction of alpha4beta2*-nAChR availability in patients with PD without clinically manifest dementia or depression compared with healthy volunteers, and novel in vivo evidence for a role of the cholinergic neurotransmission in psychiatric comorbidity of PD is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

99mTechnetium-Ethyl-Cysteinate-Dimer Single-Photon Emission CT Can Predict Fatal Ischemic Brain Edema

TL;DR: Patients with fatal MCA infarction with high accuracy were identified by using 99mTc-ECD SPECT within 6 hours of stroke onset, and this technique offers great potential to select stroke patients for specific therapies, eg, decompressive hemicraniectomy, soon after onset of symptoms.
