The human body is a complex, integral whole, and disruptions in one organ can lead to
dysfunctions in other parts of the organ network. The facial nerve, as the seventh cranial …

Abstract The radiopharmaceutical 2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) has been
dominantly used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans for over 20 years, and due to …

Background Brain metastases are frequent complications for lung cancer patients. However,
changes in the brain of lung cancer patients have received little attention. We aimed to …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a well-established imaging technique for “in-vivo”
molecular imaging. In this review, after a brief history of PET, its physical principles and the …

Hormone-induced interaction between brown adipose tissue (BAT) and brain is an important
regulator of feeding behaviour. Traditional thermoregulatory feeding theory has been …

Total‐body positron emission tomography (TB‐PET) has ultra‐high sensitivity and the
unique ability to conduct dynamic imaging of the entire body. Both the hardware …

Life processes, including high intelligence, self-organization, and homeostasis, are
characterized by the biological organism in the form of self-renewal, self-replication and self …

PET-based connectivity computation is a molecular approach that complements fMRI-
derived functional connectivity. However, the diversity of methodologies and terms …

Information transfer across the brain has a high energetic cost and requires the efficient use
of glucose. Positron emission tomography (PET) studies have shown that ageing is …

Functional Positron Emission Tomography (fPET) has advanced as an effective tool for
investigating dynamic processes in glucose metabolism and neurotransmitter action …
