Open AccessNuclear medicine technologists are able to accurately determine when a myocardial perfusion rest study is necessary
In myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), typically a stress and a rest study is performed. If the stress study is considered normal, there is no need for a subsequent rest study. The aim of the study was to...

Open AccessSemi-automatic analysis of standard uptake values in serial PET/CT studies in patients with lung cancer and lymphoma
Changes in maximum standardised uptake values (SUVmax) between serial PET/CT studies are used to determine disease progression or regression in oncologic patients. To measure these changes manually can be time co...
