Do you know your PSMA-tracer? Variability in the biodistribution of different PSMA ligands and its potential impact on defining PSMA-positivity prior to PSMA-targeted therapy by Jan Heilinger, Katrin Sabine Roth, Henning Weis, Antonis Fink, Jasmin Weindler, Felix Dietlein, Philipp Krapf, Klaus Schomäcker, Bernd Neumaier, Markus Dietlein, Alexander Drzezga, Carsten Kobe

“…Abstract Background In clinical practice, several radiopharmaceuticals are used for PSMA-PET imaging, each with distinct biodistribution patterns. This may impact treatment decisions and outcomes, as eligibility for PSMA-directed radioligand therapy is usually assessed by comparing tumoral uptake to normal liver uptake as a reference. …”

Analysis of features of papillary thyroid carcinoma on color Doppler ultrasound images: implications for lymph node metastasis by Lu Cao, Ying Cao, Xiangru Wang, Xinxin Lu, Fangxi Zhao, Lei Sun, Hua Wang, Xiaopeng Li

“…Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the independent effects of blood flow characteristics on LNM, and a logistic regression model was established to assess their predictive value for PTC-related LNM. Results In all, 287 PTC lesions were analyzed using color Doppler ultrasonography, which identified five main reference patterns: avascular (26.13%), dot-line (24.74%), branching (14.29%), garland (11.50%), and rich-disorganized (23.34%). …”
