Quantitative Assessments of Tumor Activity in a General Oncologic PET/CT Population: Which Metric Minimizes Tracer Uptake Time Dependence? Open
In oncologic PET, the SUV and standardized uptake ratio (SUR) of a viable tumor generally increase during the postinjection period. In contrast, the net influx rate (Ki ), which is derived from dynamic PET data, should remain relatively co…

Adrenal hemorrhage and hemorrhagic masses; diagnostic workup and imaging findings Open
Adrenal hemorrhage (AH) is a rare condition. It can be traumatic or non-traumatic. Most common causes are septicemia, coagulopathy or bleeding diathesis, and underlying neoplasms. Other reported less common causes of AH are COVID-19 and ne…

Technologic optimization of a virtual disease focused panel during the COVID pandemic and beyond Open
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, several service fields have opted for virtual work as much as possible, in order to decrease the spread of the virus. Although several articles have now addressed the key issues in telecommunic…

Observer study-based evaluation of a stochastic and physics-based method to generate oncological PET images Open
Objective evaluation of new and improved methods for PET imaging requires access to images with ground truth, as can be obtained through simulation studies. However, for these studies to be clinically relevant, it is important that the sim…

An estimation-based method to segment PET images. Open
Tumor segmentation in oncological PET images is challenging, a major reason being the partial-volume effects that arise from low system resolution and a finite pixel size. The latter results in pixels containing more than one region, also …
