Repeat injection with the left arm down by the patient's side (b) shows excellent opacification of the left subclavian vein and no filling of venous collaterals, permitting a diagnostic scan for evaluation of pulmonary embolus Open image in new window Fig. 6 Chronic left subclavian vein thrombus with venous collateral formation.
Patients receiving chemotherapy had a follow-up CT scan for evaluation of response after the second preoperative treatment cycle.
Three and 12 months after surgery, each patient underwent an MRI scan for evaluation of the extent of resection according to the protocol mentioned above.
In addition, 10 patients had a second ultrasound-guided biopsy performed 2 days after the second FLT-PET scan for evaluation of Ki-67.
Despite the superiority of PET over CT scanning for evaluation of mediastinal adenopathy, the resolution of PET makes determination of the extent of the tumour and involvement of individual lymph node groups difficult.
PET scans performed for evaluation of tumours or other purposes occasionally show abnormal focus of hypermetabolism in the chest, either in or adjacent to the heart.

SHEEC1 cells were exposed to As2O3 (1, 3, and 5 μmol/L), and after 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hr, the fluorescence intensity (FI) of rhodamine 123 (Rho123 -labeled cells was detected using a confocal laseRho123 -labeledoscellsfor evaluation of the mitochondrial membrane potential.
Recent studies have validated the use of 3D CT scans and MRI for evaluation of ACL bone tunnel placement postoperatively (Abebe et al. 2009, Forsythe et al. 2010).
