The contribution of SPECT/CT in patients with radionuclide shuntography through shunt dysfunction

Objective: Radionuclide CSF study is a simple, effective, and low-radiation-dose procedure for the assessment of shunt patency. With the help of CT image of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), the interpretation becomes more accurate and easier.The aim of this study was to compare the classical methods and 2D planar scintigraphic images with radionuclide shuntography fused SPECT/CT. Methods: Between 2015-2019 all hydrocephalic patients who underwent radionuclide shuntography and classical methods (cranial CT, USG and/or direct X-rays), for suspected VP shunt malfunction at our hospital were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Fusion with SPECT/CT is provided in all radionuclide shuntographies

Ga-68 PSMA PET/MR in the differentiation of low and high grade gliomas: Is Ga-68 PSMA PET/MRI useful to detect brain gliomas?

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most important imaging modality in the diagnosis and follow-up of glial brain tumors

Breast Uptake of Ga-68 DOTA-TATE in a Nursing Woman with Net Diagnosis

Neuroendocrine tumors are heterogenous group of tumors that expresses somatostatin receptors on their cell surfaces. PET/CT with Ga-68 labeled somatostatin analogues has been used as an important imaging modality in the NETs. It's important to know normal biodistribution of radiotracer to avoid misinterpretation. We report physiologic breast uptake of Ga-68 in a nursing patient

Comparison of brain F-18 FDG PET/MRI with PET/CT imaging in pediatric patients

Background: Standardized uptake values (SUVs) are important indexes for evaluating the accuracy of disease diagnoses achieved via fluoro-18 deoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). The purpose of this study is to describe normal cerebral FDG uptake in the pediatric population and compare SUVmax/mean results for brain images obtained from PET/CT and PET/MRI in neurologically healthy pediatric examinees
