The journey into nuclear medicine is often fueled by passion and curiosity. But for many students and early-career ...

Diuretic renal scintigraphy plays a critical diagnostic role by providing a physiologic means for differentiating between obstructive and nonobstructive hydronephrosis and by assessing the function of ...

Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are essential for optimizing radiologic practices and ensuring patient safety. This study aimed to establish typical DRLs for nuclear medicine (NM) procedures ...

The heart’s innervation relies on a delicate balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, each using distinct neurotransmitters to regulate heart rate, contractility, and ...

Cardiac amyloidosis, a form of restrictive heart disease, is caused by the deposition of amyloid fibrils (misfolded proteins) in extracellular myocardial tissue (5). The accumulation of amyloid ...

The study aim was to evaluate the adaptation of collimators to 123 I-N-fluoropropyl-2b-carbomethoxy-3b-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane (123 I-FP-CIT) dopamine transporter SPECT (DAT-SPECT) by a ...

Patients experience anxiety during imaging procedures because of the confined space, uncertainty about the procedure, worry about the results, and other concerns. When a patient experiences anxiety ...

Nearly 8,000 physicians, technologists, physicists, scientists, and exhibitors gathered at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2025 Annual Meeting, held June 21–24, in New ...

During my 45-plus years in nuclear medicine, I have had the pleasure of serving in many roles—from staff technologist to ...

Before CT came into use, planar radiography and fluoroscopy comprised all non–nuclear medicine uses of ionizing radiation in imaging. In those types of examinations, the radiation dose to the patient ...

PET/CT images are usually obtained in the arms-up position in patients with no head and neck pathology and in the arms-down position to image the head and neck area. The arms usually cause artifacts ...
