The activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is associated with reductions in circulating
lipids and glucose in rodents and contributes to energy expenditure in humans indicating …

Impaired cardiac systolic and diastolic function has been observed in preclinical models and
in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Using a recently validated positron emission tomography …

Despite the continuous evolution of positron emission tomography (PET) technology, the
spatial resolution (SR) of PET images remains poor (4–6 mm) compared with that of …

Aging is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and convincing data have
shown that chronic low-grade inflammation, which develops with advanced age, contributes …

Full quantitative analysis of brain PET data requires knowledge of the arterial input function
into the brain. Such data are normally acquired by arterial sampling with corrections for …

Dynamic PET allows quantification of physiological parameters through tracer kinetic
modeling. For dynamic imaging of brain or head and neck cancer on conventional PET …

Introduction Analysis of multimodal medical images often requires the selection of one or
many anatomical regions of interest (ROIs) for extraction of useful statistics. This task can …

Background The positron emission tomography (PET) ligand 68 Ga-Glu-urea-Lys (Ahx)-
HBED-CC (68 Ga-PSMA-11) targets the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) …

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has long been described according to its histological features
as a multilocular, lipid-containing tissue, light brown in color, that is also responsive to the …

Background The aim of this study was to test seven previously published image-input
methods in state-of-the-art high resolution PET brain images. Images were obtained with a …
