Background and aims
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) revolutionized cancer treatment. However, ICIs may increase the immune response to non-tumor cells, possibly resulting in increased arterial inflammation, raising the risk of atherosclerotic events. Nevertheless, maligna ...

Purpose: Assessing renal perfusion in-vivo is challenging and quantitative information regarding renal hemodynamics is hardly incorporated in medical decision-making while abnormal renal hemodynamics might play a crucial role in the onset and progression of renal disease. Comb ...
Chronic nonbacterial osteitis (CNO) is a rare disease spectrum, which lacks biomarkers for disease activity. Sodium fluoride-18 positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18F]NaF-PET/CT) is a sensitive imaging tool for bone diseases and yields quantitative data on bone tu

The environmental impact of PET/CT imaging
A focus on energy consumption, waste generation and radiopharmaceutical production
Objective:
This pilot study aims to assess the environmental impact of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging, in the context of efforts to mitigate climate change. This is studied by investigating the energy usage, waste generation, and the radioph ...
