Diagnostic impact of la PET/TC con 18F-FDG PET/CT on the management of rare breast carcinomas: apocrine and neuroendocrine carcinomas
ConclusionsThe histopathological ABC subtype group showed different 18F-FDG uptake than the IDC group. Even if 18F-FDG uptake was lower in the PBNEC group than in the other groups, PET/CT showed and adequate performance in detecting primary tumors and metastases. The 18F-FDG PET/CT scan results may contribute to the initial staging and management of ABC and PBNEC patients.ResumenObjetivoEl objetivo fue evaluar el impacto diagnóstico y la estadificación mediante PET/TC con 18F-FDG en carcinomas apocrinos (ABC) y carcinomas neuroendocrinos (PBNEC) y detectar posibles alteraciones en la captación de 18F-FDG según el subti...

Renogram in kidney transplant. Utility of delayed images with SPECT/CT in the diagnosis of urinary leak
Publication date: Available online 20 December 2018Source: Revista Española de Medicina Nuclear e Imagen Molecular (English Edition)Author(s): J. Gómez Hidalgo, M.Á. Ruiz Gómez, C. Gamazo Laherrán, M. Alonso Rodríguez, A. Sainz Esteban, R. Ruano PérezAbstractUrinary leakage in patients with kidney transplantation is a relatively common surgical complication that requires early diagnosis and intervention. The isotopic renogram is a non-invasive and effective method to evaluate the perfusion and function of kidney transplantation, and allows us to diagnose urological complications such as urinary leakage. In these cas...

Intraindividual comparison of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT vs. 11C-choline PET/CT in patients with prostate cancer in biochemical relapse: In vivo evaluation of the expression of somatostatin receptors
Conclusions68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 11C-choline PET/CT seem to have a high capacity to detect pathological lesions in the assessment of patients with prostate cancer with biochemical relapse. Further studies are required to test the potential complementary value of these PET/CT techniques, and to evaluate the potential role of 68Ga-DOTATATE for planning somostatin receptor-mediated therapies (177Lu-DOTATATE).ResumenAntecedentes y objetivosComparar prospectivamente la tasa de detección de la PET/TC con 68Ga-DOTATATE versus 11C-colina en pacientes con cáncer de próstata en recaída bioquímica y evaluar in vivo la expresi...

Development of a positron emission tomography risks map
The objective of this paper was to identify the risks to which a patient who is to be explored through PET can be exposed in a Nuclear Medicine department and draw up a risk map for the PET process. The methodology used is part of the proposal of the Ministry of Health (2007), and its practical implementation (given the limited literature available on Nuclear Medicine), follows as far as possible that of related care areas (radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy). For this purpose, a multidisciplinary team of professionals directly related to the PET process was created, using the modal analysis of faults and effects methodology ...
