Abstract Purpose The first aim of this study was to evaluate 68Ga-PSMAHBED-CC conjugate 11 positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) parameters for assessment of response to 177Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The second aim was to investigate factors associated with overall survival (OS). ...

Abstract Purpose Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a cholesterol storage disease characterized by disruption in the endosomal–lysosomal transport system that leads to the accumulation of cholesterol and glycolipids in lysosomes. Developmental cognitive delay and progressive motor and cognitive impairment are characteristic of the disease. Tau accumulation has been reported in some NPC patients. We investigated the presence of tau and...

Abstract Purpose The prognosis for patients with inoperable esophageal carcinoma is still poor and the reliability of individual therapy outcome prediction based on clinical parameters is not convincing. In a recent publication, we were able to show that PET can provide independent prognostic information in such a patient group and that the tumor-to-blood standard uptake ratio (SUR) can improve the prognostic value of tracer uptake values....

Objectives Comparison of the diagnostic value of simultaneous multislice (SMS) accelerated diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging (EPI) of malignant and benign lesions of the breast compared with a reference EPI sequence. Materials and Methods The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee. Sixty-eight patients were examined with a diffusion-weighted EPI (reference EPI; TE = 54 milliseconds; TR = 9000 milliseconds; TA, 3:27 minutes) and a diffusion-weighted SMS accelerated EPI...

Recent innovations in magnetic resonance, involving both hardware and software, that effectively deal with motion—whether inadvertent on the part of the patient or due to respiration and cardiac contraction—are reviewed, emphasizing major current advances. New technology involving motion sensing (kinetic, respiratory, and beat) is enabling simpler, faster, and more robust monitoring of the sources of motion. This information is being integrated, with new innovative imaging approaches, to effectively...

Objectives The aims of this study were to assess the discriminative performance of quantitative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) between prostate cancer and noncancer tissues and between tumor grade groups (GGs) in a multicenter, single-vendor study, and to investigate to what extent site-specific differences affect variations in mpMRI parameters. Materials and Methods Fifty patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer from 5 institutions underwent a standardized preoperative...

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. It is a complex disease characterized by lipid accumulation within the arterial wall, inflammation, local neoangiogenesis, and apoptosis. Innate immune effectors, in particular monocytes and macrophages, play a pivotal role in atherosclerosis initiation and progression. Although most of available evidence on the role of monocytes and macrophages in atherosclerosis is derived from animal studies, a growing body of evidence...
