Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effect of testosterone therapy on bone mineral density in hypogonadal men
TL;DR: In hypogonadal men, BMD can be normalized and maintained in the normal range by continuous, long term testosterone substitution, and is seen during the first year of treatment in previously untreated patients with low initial BMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positron emission tomography in non-small-cell lung cancer: prediction of response to chemotherapy by quantitative assessment of glucose use
Wolfgang A. Weber,Volker Petersen,Burkhard Schmidt,Leishia Tyndale-Hines,Thomas M. Link,Christian Peschel,Markus Schwaiger +6 more
TL;DR: In NSCLC, reduction of metabolic activity after one cycle of chemotherapy is closely correlated with final outcome of therapy and using metabolic response as an end point may shorten the duration of phase II studies evaluating new cytotoxic drugs and may decrease the morbidity and costs of therapy in nonresponding patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoarthritis: MR imaging findings in different stages of disease and correlation with clinical findings.
Thomas M. Link,Lynne S. Steinbach,Srinka Ghosh,Michael D. Ries,Ying Lu,Nancy E Lane,Sharmila Majumdar +6 more
TL;DR: Cartilage lesions, bone marrow edema pattern, and meniscal and ligamentous lesions were frequently demonstrated on MR images in patients with advanced osteoarthritis, and clinical findings showed no significant correlations with KL score and extent of findings at MR imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pedicle screw instrumentation of the thoracic spine in idiopathic scoliosis.
TL;DR: The correlation between the pedicle cortical penetration rate and the preoperative Cobb angle, vertebral rotation or level, or site of screw insertion was statistically insignificant and Curve correction in the cases of mainly hook instrumentation was slightly greater than with hooks, but not to a statistically significant extent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-body MR imaging for detection of bone metastases in children and young adults: comparison with skeletal scintigraphy and FDG PET.
Heike E. Daldrup-Link,Christiane Franzius,Thomas M. Link,Daniela Laukamp,Joachim Sciuk,Heribert Jürgens,Otmar Schober,Ernst J. Rummeny +7 more
TL;DR: Whole-body MR imaging has a higher sensitivity than skeletal scintigraphy for the detection of bone marrow metastases but a lower sensitivity than FDG PET.
