Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of imaging scan that doctors might use when diagnosing and treating non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It can be useful for identifying and staging the cancer.

Both Hodgkin's disease (HD) and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are curable malignancies. With standard induction therapies (Armitage et al, 1986; DeVita et al, 1997; Gianni et al, 1997) more ...

Diffuse gliomas are malignant brain tumors and cannot be optimally examined by conventional imaging using MRI. Amino acid PET can better visualize the activity and spread of gliomas. An international ...

A PET scan is often used to help determine a cancer diagnosis. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan uses a tracer with low levels of radiation to find places in your body where cells are ...

What is the role of F-18 FDG PET within randomized multicenter clinical trials for multi-modality treatment of non-small cell lung cancer stage III? No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can detect cancer earlier than other imaging tests. But some types of cancer are harder to detect on a PET scan. In particular, they may miss cancers that ...

The evaluation of radiation dose in positron emission tomography (PET) is an essential component of modern nuclear medicine. Accurate dosimetric assessment ensures that the diagnostic benefits of PET ...

Before you take that walk or ride a bike, think again--especially if you will be undergoing a positron emission tomography (PET) scan any time soon. "Any type of physical activity--from tapping your ...

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is a diagnostic tool that examines body tissue functioning, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar metabolism, to help doctors diagnose and treat disease.

A team of researchers at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) has demonstrated that the plasma biomarker p-tau217, obtained through a simple blood test, can predict the clinical progression ...
