MRI evaluation of soft tissue tumors: comparison of a fast, isotropic, 3D T2-weighted fat-saturated sequence with a conventional 2D T2-weighted fat-saturated sequence for tumor characteristics, resolution, and acquisition time

Fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols using three-dimensional (3D) isotropic turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequences have been developed for the evaluation of internal joint derangement [ 1 – 15 ] and recently, for the assessment of bone tumor …

Expert consensus on oncological [18F]FDG total-body PET/CT imaging (version 1)

Molecular imaging with the hybrid system, such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), provides insights to oncology studies with both anatomical and functional information on a molecular level in the living human body [ 1 , 2 …]. With the advance of the scintillator, photomultiplier, and reconstruction algorithm, this non-invasive imaging modality has evolved rapidly since the invention of PET/CT in 2000 [
