Use of Integrated SPECT/CT Imaging for Tumor Dosimetry in I-131 Radioimmunotherapy: A Pilot Patient Study
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2009-08)
Abstract Integrated systems combining functional (single-photon emission computed tomography; SPECT) imaging with anatomic (computed tomography; CT) imaging have the potential to greatly improve the accuracy of dose ...
Striatal monoamine terminals in Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer's disease
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-06)
We used positron emission tomography (PET) with (+)-[ 11 C]dihydrotetrabenazine ([+]-[ 11 C]DTBZ) to examine striatal monoaminergic presynaptic terminal density in 20 patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), 25 with ...
Stage-I osteochondritis dissecans versus normal variants of ossification in the knee in children
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-09)
Background: Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) has a better prognosis than the adult type. Objective : We postulated that the excellent prognosis of juvenile OCD could be explained, at least in part, by the erroneous ...
Proprotein convertase expression and localization in epidermis: evidence for multiple roles and substrates
(Munksgaard International PublishersBlackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001-06)
Specific proteolysis plays an important role in the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes in the epidermis and several types of proteases have been implicated in this process. The proprotein convertases (PCs) are a ...
Fast, pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling for functional imaging using a two-coil system
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-03)
A fast, two-coil, pseudo-continuous labeling scheme is presented. This new scheme permits the collection of a multislice subtraction pair in <3 s, depending on the subject's arterial transit times. The method consists of ...
In vivo measures of dopaminergic radioligands in the rat brain: Equilibrium infusion studies
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002-03-01)
The application of an equilibrium infusion method for measuring specific in vivo radioligand binding in the conscious rat brain was evaluated for two ligands of the dopaminergic system, (+)-Α-[ 11 C]dihydrotetrabenazine ...
An academic health center cost analysis of screening mammography
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-09-01)
BACKGROUND The current study sought to determine the institutional financial impact of a screening mammography (SM) program in the context of an integrated cancer center. METHODS Using administrative databases, 10,048 ...
Continuous arterial spin labeling using a train of adiabatic inversion pulses A portion of this work was presented at the 10th Annual Meeting of ISMRM, Honolulu, 2002.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-03)
Purpose To develop a simple and robust magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequence for the quantitative measurement of blood flow in the brain and cerebral tumors that has practical implementation advantages over ...
Lithotripter Shockwave-Induced Enhancement of Mouse Melanoma Lung Metastasis: Dependence on Cavitation Nucleation
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, 2004-11-01)
Purpose: To confirm a previous report of metastasis enhancement by lithotripter shockwaves (LSW) and to test the hypothesis that this effect is attributable to cavitation. Materials and Methods: The metastatic B16-D5 ...
Non-contrast thin-section helical CT of urinary tract calculi in children
(Springer-Verlag, 2002-05)
Background: Non-contrast thin-section helical CT has gained acceptance for the diagnosis of urinary tract calculi in adults, but experience with the technique in children is limited. Purpose: To evaluate the utility of ...
