CT and ultrasound in abscess detection at specific anatomic sites: A study of 198 patients
(Elsevier, 1987)
Records of 902 patients with possible abdominal abscess were reviewed and of these 198 had abscesses on at least one occasion imaged either with ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT). There were 235 episodes of either ...
Evaluation of ( - )[18F]fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol as a new PET tracer of cholinergic neurons of the heart
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
18F-labeled ( - )fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol [( - )FEOBV] is a novel PET tracer which binds to the vesicular acetylcholine transporter of cholinergic neurons. To evaluate the in vivo binding specificity and kinetic properties ...
Characterization of [11C]tetrabenazine as an in vivo radioligand for the vesicular monoamine transporter
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
[11C]Tetrabenazine ([11C]TBZ) is a new in vivo radioligand for positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging of vesicular monoamine transporters. The in vivo distribution, metabolism and pharmacological specificity of [11C]TBZ ...
CT evaluation of mediastinal masses
(Elsevier, 1987)
CT is an important modality for imaging mediastinal masses, and certain CT attenuation features (fat, calcium, or water attenuation, contrast enhancement) are well known to suggest specific diagnoses. In a series of 132 ...
Monte Carlo evaluation of object shape effects in iodine-131 SPET tumor activity quantification
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-07)
In our clinical iodine-131 single-photon emission tomography (SPET) quantification for radioimmunotherapy, calibration and partial volume correction are based on measurements with phantoms containing spheres to simulate ...
Scintigraphy of incidentally discovered bilateral adrenal masses
(Springer-Verlag, 1995-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine the patterns of iodine-131 6β-iodomethylnorcholesterol (NP-59) imaging and the correlation with computed tomography (CT)-guided adrenal biopsy and follow-up in patients with ...
CT evaluation of the equivocal pulmonary nodule
(Elsevier, 1987)
In the setting of a questionable pulmonary nodule demonstrated by conventional radiographs, the place of CT in the diagnostic algorithm is not well established. We reviewed our experience in 50 consecutive patients referred ...
Toxicity from treatment of neuroblastoma with 131 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-09)
Toxic effects from 131 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine ( 131 I-MIBG) treatments of neuroblastoma in six patients were recorded. The toxicity was largely confined to the hematologic system where circulating leukocytes and platelets ...
CT of unusual mediastinal vascular abnormalities
(Elsevier, 1984)
The previously unreported CT findings of supracardiac anomalous pulmonary venous return and Takayasu arteritis are presented. CT demonstration of a left vertical vein and an enlarged superior vena cava strongly suggests a ...
