Biochemical and molecular imaging of cancer using positron emission tomography (PET)
plays an increasing role in the care of cancer patients. Most clinical work to date uses the …

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has been used for
detection, staging, and response monitoring in breast cancer patients. Although studies …

The purpose of this study was to quantify microcirculation and microvasculature in breast
lesions by pharmacokinetic analysis of Gd‐DTPA‐enhanced MRI series. Strongly T1 …

Purpose Standardized uptake values (SUV) are commonly used for quantification of whole-
body [18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) studies …

We sought to prospectively assess the diagnostic performance of a high‐resolution positron
emission tomography (PET) scanner using mild breast compression (positron emission …

Purpose: To study blood flow (BF) and metabolism in normal pancreas and in different
pancreatic lesions. We then determined the effect of these biomarkers on outcome in …

Purpose: To investigate the factors affecting the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake
in tumors at a microscopic level, by correlating it with tumor hypoxia, cellular proliferation …

Purpose Patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) receive preoperative
chemotherapy to provide early systemic treatment and assess in vivo tumor response. Serial …

Advances in technology have allowed extremely precise control of radiation dose delivery
and localization within a patient. The ability to confidently delineate target tumor boundaries …

The aim of this study was to characterize the biologic response of locally advanced breast
cancer (LABC) to chemotherapy using 15O-water–derived blood flow measurements and …
