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 ...

Meckel’s diverticulum is a vestigial remnant that arises from the failure of the omphalomesenteric duct to close. The omphalomesenteric duct connects the yolk sac in the embryo to the early foregut ...

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 ...

18F-FDG PET with CT is an important advanced imaging modality used to assess patients with suspected or known cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). 18F-FDG PET is indicated for CS work-up in patients with ...

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 ...

Radiation dose to patients from imaging modalities is measured or calculated to assess the risk of the procedure and compare it with the benefits. Periodic review of image acquisition methods and the ...

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 ...
