16. AL amyloidosis : Study of epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment with emphasis on heart involvement
Sammanfattning : AL (immunoglobulin light chain) amyloidosis is often associated with delayed diagnosis and thereby high early mortality that is not overcome by contemporary treatment. There is a need for diagnostic methods promoting earlier diagnosis, especially in patients with cardiac involvement. LÄS MER
17. 11C-Acetate-PET/CT in Primary Staging of High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, affecting ~12%. Although most are clinically insignificant low-risk cancers, the more aggressive high-risk cancers require correct staging, prior to curative radiotherapy or surgery. LÄS MER
18. Radiolabeled acetate PET in oncology imaging : studies on head and neck cancer, prostate cancer and normal distribution
Sammanfattning : The use of positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging in oncology has grown rapidly in recent years. 2-[18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is the most common tracer of PET, although drawbacks exist. LÄS MER
19. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm : Molecular Imaging Studies of Pathophysiology
Sammanfattning : The pathological process behind abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is poorly understood and difficult to study. The aim of the thesis was to study the pathophysiology of AAA formation with positron emission tomography (PET) technology, a molecular imaging technique, allowing in vivo studies of pathophysiological changes.
