Calcific diskitis (CD) is a rare condition characterized by inflammation and calcification of an intervertebral disk, typically causing localized back pain. We present the case of a 65-y-old woman ...

Many iterations of the meal composition for solid gastric-emptying studies have been used in nuclear medicine (NM) to evaluate patients suspected of having gastroparesis. In 2008, the Society of ...

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) is an international scientific and professional organization founded in 1954 to promote the science, technology, and practical application ...

Cardiac PET imaging is increasingly used for myocardial perfusion studies because of its high diagnostic accuracy and low radiation exposure to the patient. However, patient motion can be challenging, ...

This study investigated the application of large language models (LLMs) with and without retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in nuclear medicine, particularly their performance across various topics ...

In systemic radiopharmaceutical therapy, a direct dosimetric correlation between the tumor absorbed dose and overall survival, that is, Grays to months, has never been explicitly defined. This ...

In the era of high-sensitivity troponin, minor elevations are often attributed to noncardiac etiologies. However, in patients who present with characteristic symptoms, any troponin elevation is ...

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), founded in 1954 and headquartered in Reston, Va., is a nonprofit scientific and professional organization that promotes the science, ...

The annual incidence of cardiac sarcoidosis is low, but increased awareness of this inflammatory condition has led to earlier disease recognition. High mortality rates compel prompt diagnosis and ...

Many benign bone lesions mimic skeletal metastases from thyroid cancer on imaging and even may have high metabolic uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT. It becomes crucial to distinguish these hypermetabolic ...
