Can Machine Learning Predict Favorable Outcome After Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma? Pretreatment 18 F-FDG PET/CT scans from three study populations (N = 100, N = 39, N = 70) were ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) with the radiotracer 18 F-FDG provides an important tool for assessing the health of the heart muscle in patients with ischemic heart disease, in which narrowed ...

A small proportion of people who recover from COVID-19 have some degree of myocardial inflammation that is linked to abnormalities on cardiac MRI, according to the results of a new study. Importantly, ...

Paraneoplastic syndrome is a rare and poorly understood systemic manifestation of malignancy that can involve multiple organ systems. [1] Detection of the underlying malignancy is key to treatment.

FDG PET imaging measures glucose uptake in the brain. It has long served as a proxy for neuronal health—but is it? In the October 13 Science Translational Medicine, researchers led by Christian Haass ...
