OBJECTIVE: Reliable markers to predict the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) are lacking. We aimed to assess the ability of 18F-FDG PET/MRI to predict response to nCRT among patients undergoing curative-intent surgery. METHODS: Patients with histological-confirmed LARC who underwent...

Introduction and aim: Ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS) is mostly secondary to thoracic/ abdominal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) or small cell-lung carcinoma (SCLC). We studied the diagnostic accuracy of CT with68Ga-Dota derivatives (68Ga-SSTR) PET in localizing ACTH-secreting tumor in patients with EAS. Materials and methods:68Ga-SSTR-PET/CT was...

Objective: To compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced MRI using established dimensional and morphological criteria versus integrated [18F]FDG PET/MRI in identifying regional lymph node metastases in patients with newly diagnosed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). For this purpose, we compare MRI and PET/MRI using the...
