Intestinal inflammation could be quantified by the PET/CT due to the tropism of a PET tracer, [18F]FDG for activated inflammatory cells.
[18F]FDG PET/CTperformed on latest digital PET/CT cameras and recordings focused on the abdomen could help quantify intestinal inflammation in patients with
The diagnosis of GCA is clinical and syndrome-based. Only few years ago, temporal artery biopsy (TAB) was the standard diagnostic tool to confirm diagnosis, although sensitivity is moderate[3,4] and its outcome seldom affects treatment management[5]. Today, the European League Against Rheumatism
1. | INTRODUCTION Dental implants are commonly used in partly and completely edentulous patients in order to improve function, aesthetic appearance and life quality. Successful osseointegration is provided with recently developed surface modifications. Some of these are SLA (Sand-blasted, Largegrit,
The study will be performed at the Hemophilia Care and Research Center. We will recruit 20 participants. Inclusion criteria included age 20 years and above hemophilia A or B patients who reported history of hemarthroses of knee, ankle, elbow, shoulder or hip joints. Participants will be excluded for
FDG PET/CT is very sensitive imaging tool for the detection of neoplasms. Neoplasm tissue is characterized by a much higher level of metabolism than healthy tissues, therefore a 95% cases of use the method regard oncology. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is absorbed by patients' organism as glucose but it
As standard of care, patients suspected of GCA undergo clinical examination, laboratory screening, temporal artery biopsy, vascular ultrasound examination and FDG PET/CT.
All patients with a diagnosis of GCA will be treated with 60 mg af prednisolone and tapered according to a predefined
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine how fluorine F 18 clofarabine (18F‐clofarabine) is distributed in the body, in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
II. Determine whether 18F‐clofarabine can be used to image patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Patients receive
The preliminary results of the pilot study on early lung cancer detection by spiral CT and PET launched in Milan in 2000 and published in the Lancet in 2003 showed a positive outcome, confirming the essential safety of spiral CT and a high proportion (95%) of complete resections and stage I disease
This multi-center study will recruit 21 subjects to undergo an open-label tocilizumab treatment for 13-18 weeks in order to examine the efficacy of tocilizumab on plaque inflammation in RA patients. This multi-center study will employ PET/MR imaging of the carotid and coronary arteries and aorta to
The investigators plan to use three radioactive tracers to produce the PET images for measuring lung inflammation: [18F](+/-)NOS (the F stands for fluorine and NOS stands for Nitric Oxide Synthase, which targets iNOS), O-15 carbon monoxide ([15O]CO), and O-15 water ([15O]H2O). The NOS tracer gives
This is a prospective pilot study evaluating the clinical use of FLT PET in paediatric patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The overall objective of this trial is to assess the feasibility of using FLT PET as an adjunct imaging modality to follow-up paediatric
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Establish correlation between 18F-FLT positron emission tomography (PET) activity, apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) values from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), fludeoxyglucose F 18 (18F-FDG) PET activity, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is one of the major causes of death in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Despite prophylactic measures, the incidence of acute GVHD is estimated at 40-60% among patients receiving allograft from HLA-identical sibling donors, and
The investigators plan to use [18F](+/-)NOS (the F stands for fluorine and NOS stands for Nitric Oxide Synthase, the name for the investigational radioactive drug that targets iNOS) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as a measure of lung inflammation. PET is a machine that detects
Lung cancer remains a fatal disease worldwide, and surgical treatment offers possibility for long-term survival. However, the indication and outcome of surgical resection depends on the pre-operative accurate staging and extent of intra-operative lymph node dissection. Therefore, the accurate lymph
