The accuracy and reproducibility of nuclear medicine gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) require strict adherence to the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging standardized protocol, which ...

Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) as now commonly performed measures only total gastric emptying. Intragastric meal distribution (IMD) immediately after meal ingestion (t = 0 min) (IMD) can assess ...

18F-FDG PET/CT quantification of whole-body tumor burden in lymphoma is not routinely performed because of the lack of fast methods. Although the semiautomatic method is fast, it is not fast enough to ...

As nuclear medicine instructors shift toward online learning, it is imperative to use instructional strategies that align with the program’s theoretic foundation. Online learning does not require a ...

Many variables can influence the results of gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). A lack of standardization causes variability, limits comparisons, and decreases the credibility of the study. To ...

Technical factors play a critical role in the production of best-quality amyloid PET images for interpretation. This article provides specific instructions and general technical information about PET ...

Alzheimer disease is associated with the accumulation of one or more misfolded proteins. The 2 primary proteins are amyloid-β and tau, which cause extracellular deposition of amyloid-β plaque and ...

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 ...

Attenuation artifacts reduce our ability to evaluate perfusion of affected myocardial segments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of routine prone-position image evaluation within a ...

Diuretic renal scintigraphy plays a critical diagnostic role by providing a physiologic means for differentiating between obstructive and nonobstructive hydronephrosis and by assessing the function of ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the assessment of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients by gated IQ-SPECT. Methods: Twenty-eight patients were examined using gated ...
