  1. 1. PET/CT in oncology : Patient experience, image quality and the value of information

    Författare :Camilla Andersson; Birgitta Johansson; Håkan Ahlström; Pernilla Lagergren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :PET CT; patient experience; image quality.; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim was to investigate patients’ experiences with a PET/CT examination, satisfaction with care provided in connection to the examination and whether web-based information can improve satisfaction with care and image quality, compared to standard care. An additional aim was to explore how satisfaction with care and image quality is associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and perceived stress. LÄS MER

  3. 2. PET/CT with 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATOC in pulmonary carcinoid imaging

    Författare :Natalja Uhlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: PET/CT, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, with 18F-FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose) is well established in oncological imaging. Pulmonary carcinoid tumours may have metabolic activity, making them available for PET/CT imaging with 18F-FDG. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Aortic valve imaging - Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis

    Författare :Erika Fagman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic valve endocarditis; aortic valve endocarditis; ECG-gated CT; cardiac CT; 18F-FDG PET CT;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, but TEE has diagnostic shortcomings. Thus, new imaging methods might improve the diagnostic workup of PVE. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Translational PET imaging of inflammation

    Författare :Emmi Puuvuori; Olof Eriksson; Tove Grönroos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET imaging; Nuclear Medicine; Inflammation; Translational Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation is our body’s sophisticated defense mechanism against invading pathogens, traumas, and tumors. Repeatable and non-invasive monitoring of inflammation process would open opportunities to improve our knowledge of several diseases and enable assessment of personalized treatments. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Imaging Islets of Langerhans by Positron Emission Tomography : Quantification of Beta-Cell Mass in the Native Pancreas and the Islet Graft

    Författare :Olof Eriksson; Anders Sundin; Olle Korsgren; Bengt Långström; Bo Nilsson; Håkan Ahlström; Habib Zaidi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Positron Emission Tomography; [18F]FDG; dihydrotetrabenazine; Islet transplantation; IBMIR; beta-cell mass; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus are a growing health problem throughout the world. There is an increasing  need for methodologies, which are both reliable and non-invasive to measure the amount of insulin-producing tissue (Beta-cell mass, or BCM), as well as rapidly quantify changes in the BCM due to the onset of disease, beta-cell replacement therapy, or other treatments.
