Abstract

This open access book will provide a foundation for the understanding of, and knowledge for a successful routine use of diagnostic Nuclear Medicine procedures in children through expertise and cases provided by representative busy pediatric nuclear medicine facilities. The book highlights important aspects of nuclear medicine in children and the differences between adult and pediatric practice where relevant. An introductory chapter provides general information detailing the advantages and limitations for performing nuclear medicine tests in children, as well as suggestions on how to approach and provide relevant data to the patients, their parents or next of kin. In the remaining 11 chapters, containing over 115 cases of children evaluated for various clinical indications, procedures are presented and subsequently detailed according to their clinical significance or prevalence based on the clinical experience of the contributors. The book is organized by organ systems, and also includes chapter on oncology and infection/ inflammation. Chapters are formatted to provide information regarding clinical indications, preparation including radiopharmaceutical doses and additional medications, study protocol, study interpretation, correlative imaging. Each chapter will include red flags warning and take home messages sections to emphasize important points. The case format is presented with patient history and then study report and impression. Based on practices explored by experts at the forefront of this field, the publication is directed at Nuclear Medicine physicians, radiologists, oncologists and clinicians in various pediatric specialties, medical physicists, medical technologists, radiopharmacists, laboratory medicine scientists and researchers.

Abstract

Summary: The issue of Cancers Journal entitled "Role of Medical Imaging in Cancers" presents a detailed summary of evidences about molecular imaging, including the role of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission tomography (SPET) and positron emission tomography (PET) or PET/CT or PET/MR imaging in many type of tumors (i.e. sarcoma, prostate, breast and others), motivating the role of these imaging modalities in different setting of disease and showing the recent developments, in terms of radiopharmaceuticals, software and artificial intelligence in this field. The collection of articles is very useful for many specialists, because it has been conceived for a multidisciplinary point of view, in order to drive to a personalized medicine.

3. Low Cost Alternative to Lead Glass Shielding in PET/CT Control/Scanner Room Window.

Author

Abstract

The aim of this work is to propose a reasonably priced alternative to expensive lead glass used in PET/CT windows connecting the control room and the scanner room. These windows can be extremely useful to detect if the patient needs quickly to be assisted, for anesthesia surveillance when needed, among several other purposes and is mandatory to exist in these facilities. The window must provide also radiation protection to the worker inside the control room. One way to accomplish this task is to use lead glass. However, lead glass is expensive and is usually manufactured as predetermined lead equivalent thicknesses (frequently 2 mm or more). It is also designed to be lead equivalent with nominal thicknesses specified for radiology energy ranges. Depending on the distances involved and on the workload, since the photon energy irradiating from PET patients is significantly higher (511 keV) than other nuclear medicine and radiology procedures, it is usually necessary to protect the professionally exposed worker with a high thickness of lead or lead equivalent glass. For a big area window, a lead glass plate can be quite expensive. In this work it is presented a less expensive solution using common glass with thickness higher than 15 cm. Calculations are presented for typical situations and workloads, assuring protection both from PET and CT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
