Total-body PET/CT allows simultaneous acquisition of all the body parts in a single bed position during the radiotracer uptake phase. Dynamic imaging protocols employing total-body PET could demonstrate findings that may not have been previously visualized or described using conventional PET/CT scanners. We examined the characteristics of blanching...

Abnormally increased 18F-FDG avidity of axillary lymph nodes has become a frequent diagnostic dilemma on PET/CT in the current climate of global vaccinations directed against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. This avidity is due to the inflammatory response evoked by vaccines and the nonspecific nature of 18F-FDG uptake, which is inc...

Amyloid PET noninvasively visualizes amyloid-β accumulation in the brain. Visual binary reading is the standard method for interpreting amyloid PET, whereas objective quantitative evaluation is required in research and clinical trials. Anatomic standardization is important for quantitative analysis, and various standard templates are used for this ...
