An understanding of how drugs are transferred between mother and fetus during the gestational period is an important medical issue of relevance to both therapeutic drugs and drugs of abuse. Though there are several in vitro and in vivo... more
To study the impact of fused (18)F-fluoro-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) images on conformal radiation therapy (CRT) planning for patients with esophageal carcinoma.... more
Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) has been shown to be a highly sensitive method for detecting malignancy not imaged by conventional modalities. We have adapted a hand-held gamma-ray-sensitive probe to detect the radiation... more
Rationale Several lines of evidence suggest that altered serotonin (5-HT) function persists after recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). Objectives We compared 11 subjects who recovered (>1 year normal weight,... more
Approximately 10% of the pheochromocytomas and 20% of the paragangliomas are malignant with poor survival. As the biological behaviour of these tumours cannot be predicted with certainty from pathology the diagnosis of malignancy is... more
In oncology, positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) has become an essential tool for initial staging, response evaluation and follow-up of cancer patients. Most of the frequent tumors (lung, breast, esophagus, and lymphomas) are... more
Purpose: To explore the prognostic value of metabolic tumor volume measured on postradiation ¹F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with head-and-neck cancer. Methods and Materials: Forty-seven... more
Image degradation due to motion is a known problem in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). To reduce motion artifacts in PET, gating based techniques were found applicable. In pure respiratory gated PET, each gate still contains cardiac... more
