With the advent of 68Ga-PET, excellent new chelators allow us to re-evaluate 67Ga for therapy.
PET has excellent performance in resolution and sensitivity [19].
The availability of hybrid PET-MRI scanners gives the ability to perform simultaneous PET-MR cardiac studies, combining the functional perfusion quantitation from PET with excellent soft tissue contrast and high spatial and temporal resolution of cardiac MRI.
Within the statistical limitations of our small data set of HCCs treated under near-ideal dosimetric conditions, the Bland-Altman plot of intended tumor mean doses versus post-radioembolization doses by 90Y PET showed excellent correlation (ICC = 97.68%; Additional file 1: Figure S3).
The overall response to PET appeared excellent with >97% CB within 6 months.
The response to PET appeared excellent for each line of therapy with minimal rate of intolerance to therapy and considerably long time to progression and duration of CB.
On PET, the excellent static contact angle of 160°, comparable to that obtained earlier on glass (157°), was found to be relatively invariant upon repeated bending, a promising result in the context of future flexible thin-film device applications.
Although the limitation of FDG-PET was 5 false positive results in 16 pathologically NO patients, FDG-PET had excellent negative predictive value (85%) for evaluation of nodal status in small lung cancer.
This makes Zr-based immuno-PET an excellent imaging modality to predict and monitor treatment and to tailor treatment for individual patients.
Melanoma typically demonstrates avid uptake of FDG, making FDG-PET an excellent tool for the detection of primary and metastatic melanoma and quantification of FDG uptake by SUV.
Regarding specificity, FDG-PET allows excellent differentiation between inflamed and healthy joints, both among patients with RA and between patients and healthy controls; healthy joints do not take up the tracer at all [ 11, 15].
