We report the case of a prostate cancer (PC) patient referred to our center to perform F-18 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) digital positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) scan for biochemical recurrence. PET/CT was …
The role of brain imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases continues to increase. This is because the brain condition must be evaluated using non-invasive methods due to the nature of brain diseases. Among various …

The majority of solid tumors have hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, which is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Hypoxia was found to relate to cancer metastases and resistance to therapies, therefore, detection of hypoxia plays an important role in the …
With advances in computed tomography (CT) technology over the past two decades, cardiac CT has become a noninvasive diagnostic tool for morphological evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) caused by atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis and …
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a type of pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension classified as a World Health Organization (WHO) group IV pulmonary hypertension, and is considered to be the only curable form of pulmonary …
Nuclear cardiology, similar to other fields of nuclear medicine, has experience rapid advancements. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), an important component of nuclear cardiology that commenced in the 1970s, plays a crucial role in the …
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious worldwide public health problem. Currently, it is reported that more than 296 million people globally are chronically HBV infected, and nearby one million patients with chronic HBV (CHB) infection …
We present the case of a 70-year-old male patient who underwent a gallium-68 (68Ga)-DOTATOC brain positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for the assessment of a tumorous lesion on the dura. The patient had previously undergone …

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, which is characterized by a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is extremely difficult to treat and severely reduces quality of life. Amyloid beta (Aβ) has been the primary …
Cognitive impairment is a frequent manifestation of Parkinson’s disease (PD), resulting in decrease in patients’ quality of life and increased societal and economic burden. However, cognitive decline in PD is highly heterogenous and the mechanisms …
Recent technical innovation enables faster and more reliable cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging than before. Artificial intelligence is used in improving image resolution, fast scanning, and automated analysis of CMR. Fast CMR techniques …
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has moved forward the development of medical diagnostics and research across various domains, including cardiology, neurology, infection detection, and oncology. The integration of machine learning (ML) …
N-3-[18F]fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-4-iodophenyl nortropane ([18F]FP-CIT) is a radiopharmaceutical for dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) to detect dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in patients with …
Astrocytes primarily maintain physiological brain homeostasis. However, under various pathological conditions, they can undergo morphological, transcriptomic, and functional transformations, collectively referred to as reactive astrogliosis.
Ischemia imaging plays an important role in prognostication as well as guiding decision for revascularization with known CAD, as shown in multiple observational registries. However, results from the ISCHEMIA trial (International Study of …
