The relevant publications to date on COVID-19 are heavily focused on selected modalities, rather than an overall assessment of all relevant modalities for the evaluation of COVID-19. Moreover, there is scarcity of information about the radiological presentation after patients have recovered from COVID-19. This chapter presents a comprehensive revie...

A 23-year-old woman with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma was referred to 18F-FDG PET/CT for staging. Besides the large mediastinal FDG-avid tumor, another FDG-avid lesion with an SUV higher than expected in corpus luteum cysts was found in the pelvis, raising suspicion for tumor. However, gynecologic ultrasound and review of patient chart...

Introduction: Pretreatment positron emission tomography (PET) with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may identify biomarkers for predicting remission (absence of depression). Yet, no such image-based biomarkers have achieved clinical validity. The purpose of this study was to identify biomarkers of remi...

No biomarkers for antidepressant efficacy in major depressive disorder (MDD) are available that can reduce patient suffering and healthcare costs from ineffective trials. This dissertation examined such biomarkers using modalities such as pretreatment neuroimaging including structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), positron emission tomography...

"Confirmation of Presentation" for poster presentations of the ECR Overture in March

This case illustrates rare osteoarticular complications of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy in a 55-year-old male with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The patient was referred for 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to rule out bone metastases suspected on pri...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the specific needs of medical students at different stages of education and training using Maslow's Expanded Hierarchy of Needs. KEY POINTS: - Burnout scarcely addressed in medical education and training. - 75% of medical students report burnout --> ↑ than US college graduates. - NO validated tools to assess burnout. - Maslo...

Despite the upward trends in both asthma and obesity in the US, and numerous studies on their possible correlation, an association has not yet been researched in a nationally representative sample of the US pediatric population using standard BMI categories. The novelty of the present study also lies in investigating the interaction effects of sex,...
