Accurate quantification in PET and SPECT requires correction for a number of physical
factors, such as photon attenuation, Compton scattering and random coincidences (in PET) …

OBJECTIVE. There is growing interest in using PET/CT for evaluating early response to
therapy in cancer treatment. Although widely available and convenient to use, standardized …

PET imaging of atherosclerosis can quantify several in vivo pathological processes
occurring within the arterial system. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is the most-commonly …

Objectives: With combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (CT),
we investigated coronary arterial uptake of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) and 18F …

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death not only in Europe but also in the
rest of the World. Preventive measures, however, often fail and cardiovascular disease may …

During the last decades, the clinical and research interest in atherosclerosis has been
mostly focused on coronary arteries. After the publications of the European Society …

Our objective was to evaluate the association of arterial 18F-FDG uptake and calcifications
in large arteries as detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT with the subsequent occurrence of …

Objective: Symptomatic carotid stenosis is associated with a 3‐fold risk of early stroke
recurrence compared to other stroke subtypes. Current carotid imaging techniques rely on …

Inflammation is a determinant of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, the event leading to most
myocardial infarctions and strokes. Although conventional imaging techniques identify the …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of [18F] Galacto-RGD
positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging of αvβ3 …
