Radiotracer Innovations in Breast Cancer Imaging: A Review of Recent Progress by Mohamad Haidar, Joe Rizkallah, Omar El Sardouk, Nour El Ghawi, Nadine Omran, Zeinab Hammoud, Nina Saliba, Arafat Tfayli, Hiba Moukadem, Ghina Berjawi, Lara Nassar, Fahad Marafi, Partha Choudhary, Habibollah Dadgar, Alyaa Sadeq, Alain S. Abi-Ghanem

“…Radiotracers, labeled with radioactive isotopes, are integral to various nuclear imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET) and positron emission mammography (PEM). The most widely used radiotracer in breast cancer imaging is ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG), which highlights areas of increased glucose metabolism, a hallmark of many cancer cells. …”

Image quality evaluation for a clinical organ-targeted PET camera by Brandon Baldassi, Harutyun Poladyan, Anirudh Shahi, Henry Maa-Hacquoil, Madeline Rapley, Borys Komarov, Justin Stiles, Vivianne Freitas, Vivianne Freitas, Michael Waterston, Olexiy Aseyev, Alla Reznik, Alla Reznik, Oleksandr Bubon, Oleksandr Bubon, Oleksandr Bubon

“…IntroductionA newly developed clinical organ-targeted Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system (also known as Radialis PET) is tested with a set of standardized and custom tests previously used to evaluate the performance of Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) systems.MethodsImaging characteristics impacting standardized uptake value (SUV) and detectability of small lesions, namely spatial resolution, linearity, uniformity, and recovery coefficients, are evaluated.ResultsIn-plane spatial resolution was measured as 2.3 mm ± 0.1 mm, spatial accuracy was 0.1 mm, and uniformity measured with flood field and NEMA NU-4 phantom was 11.7% and 8.3% respectively. …”
