Assessment of tertiary lymphoid structures via 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Abdominal Imaging 8 min.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is one of the most common malignancies and ranks as the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality [1]. Most PAAD patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage owing to the absence of timely diagnosis and typical symptoms at an early stage, resulting in an overall...
Head-to-head comparison of [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT and [68Ga]Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen-11 PET/CT in radioactive iodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer.
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) is associated with challenges in both imaging and treatment due to resistance to I-131. The aim of this study is to compare the lesion detection rates of [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography [CT] and [68Ga]Ga-prostate...
Enhanced diagnostic performance for subcentimeter hepatocellular carcinoma using a novel criterion integrating serum AFP levels and gadolinium-based contrast-enhanced MRI features
Abdominal Imaging 6 min.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common primary liver cancers worldwide and has raising global incidence and mortality [1, 2, 3–4]. Early diagnosis is critical to improve patient outcomes, particularly in the identification of subcentimeter HCC [5, 6]. For patients eligible for...
Non-specific uptake of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in the pancreas and its related factor: a retrospective, single-center study
Abdominal Imaging 3 min.
In recent years, FAPI PET/CT (fibroblast activation protein inhibitor positron emission tomography/computed tomography) has gained significant traction in the detection of tumors, staging of diseases, and evaluation of treatment responses across various malignancies, particularly due to its high expression...
Endoscopic papillectomy in Germany: a comprehensive analysis of clinical trends and hospital mortality in Germany
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical resection for early ampullary neoplasia. While its use is increasing, outcomes and complication rates vary, and reliable data on hospital mortality in Germany remain scarce. We analyzed clinical trends and hospital mortality...
