Abstract

Purpose

To determine if one venous blood sample can substitute full arterial sampling in quantitative modeling for multiple positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers using simultaneous estimation of the input function (SIME).

Procedures

Participants underwent PET imaging with [11C]ABP688, [11C]CUMI-101, and [11C]DASB. Full arterial sampling and additional venous blood draws were performed for quantification with the arterial input function (AIF) and SIME using one arterial or venous (vSIME) sample.

Results

Venous and arterial metabolite-corrected plasma activities were within 6 % of each other at varying time points. vSIME- and AIF-derived outcome measures were in good agreement, with optimal sampling times of 12 min ([11C]ABP688), 90 min ([11C]CUMI-101), and 100 min ([11C]DASB). Simulation-based power analyses revealed that SIME required fewer subjects than the AIF method to achieve statistical power, with significant reductions for [11C]CUMI-101 and [11C]DASB with vSIME. Replication of previous findings and test-retest analyses bolstered the simulation analyses.

Conclusions

We demonstrate the feasibility of AIF recovery using SIME with one venous sample for [11C]ABP688, [11C]CUMI-101, and [11C]DASB. This method simplifies PET acquisition while allowing for fully quantitative modeling, although some variability and bias are present with respect to AIF-based quantification, which may depend on the accuracy of the single venous blood measurement.

Stumme Schlaganfälle − ein häufiger Nebenbefund im Kopf-CT?

In 4% der in der Notfallambulanz initiierten zerebralen Bildgebung sind „alte“ Schlaganfälle zu erkennen. Gar nicht so selten handelt es sich laut einer aktuellen Studie dabei um unbemerkte Insulte. Bietet sich hier womöglich die Chance auf ein effektives opportunistisches Screening?

Stören weiße Wände und viel Licht die Bildqualitätskontrolle?

Wenn es darum geht, die technische Qualität eines Mammogramms zu beurteilen, könnten graue Wandfarbe und reduzierte Beleuchtung im Bildgebungsraum von Vorteil sein. Darauf deuten zumindest Ergebnisse einer kleinen Studie hin. 

PMBCL mit CMR: Radiatio kann ohne Risiko weggelassen werden

Patienten mit primär mediastinalem B-Zell-Lymphom (PMBCL), die nach der Induktionstherapie eine komplette metabolische Remission (CMR) erreichen und keine konsolidierende Bestrahlung erhalten, müssen offenbar keine Überlebensnachteile fürchten.

Hypoxisch-ischämische Enzephalopathie: Indikatoren für eine ungünstige Prognose

Eine US-amerikanische Studie widmete sich der Identifizierung prognostischer Parameter bei Neugeborenen mit mittelschwerer oder schwerer hypoxisch-ischämischer Enzephalopathie (HIE), die mittels induzierter Hypoxie behandelt wurden. Besonders im 24-Stunden-EEG und der MRT konnten relevante Hinweise gefunden werden.
