PET CT imaging provides higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy than conventional imaging for detecting cancer in children. However, there are concerns about radiation exposure from PET CT scans potentially increasing cancer risk. The benefits of PET CT for pediatric oncology patients must be balanced against this radiation risk. PET CT may be appropriate for staging, restaging, treatment response monitoring and residual mass assessment for certain pediatric malignancies when it could improve diagnosis and guide further life-saving treatment.

Triphasic CT scan
A triphasic, or triple-phase, CT scan is an enhanced CT technique mostly used to evaluate liver lesions. This technique acquires images at 3 different time points, or phases, following the administration of a contrast.
TACE- Transarterial Chemoembolisation
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) involves delivering chemotherapy drugs and embolic agents directly into liver cancers via catheters in the hepatic artery. TACE is generally used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed. During the procedure, a catheter is placed into the hepatic artery supplying the tumor and chemotherapy mixed with iodinated oil is injected, followed by embolization of the artery with gelatin sponges. TACE can reduce tumor size and symptoms but common side effects include abdominal pain and nausea. Response to treatment is evaluated after 3-4 weeks using imaging to assess the extent of tumor coverage by the oil and residual enhancement.
Imaging and intervention in hemetemesis
This document discusses various imaging modalities for evaluating gastrointestinal bleeding, including hematemesis. It provides details on angiography, computed tomography angiography, and endoscopy. The key points are:
- Endoscopy is the primary initial investigation but additional techniques like CT angiography and catheter angiography may be needed when endoscopy is negative or fails to identify the bleeding source.
- CT angiography has advantages over catheter angiography as it is more widely available, non-invasive, and allows detection of bleeding sources throughout the GI tract.
- Both endoscopy and CT angiography play important roles in evaluating GI bleeding, with endoscopy also allowing for therapeutic interventions when a source is identified.
Imaging in pediatric brain tumors
Pediatric brain tumors account for 20-30% of childhood cancers. Common types include astrocytomas, medulloblastomas, and choroid plexus papillomas. Imaging plays an important role in analyzing potential brain tumors. On CT, tumors may appear as hypodense lesions that enhance with contrast. On MRI, they are often hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging, with variable enhancement. Location, appearance on different sequences, and effects on surrounding structures provide clues to tumor type and diagnosis.
Biliary tract interventions
This document discusses percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement. It covers indications, contraindications, techniques, and complications for both procedures. PTBD is used when endoscopic techniques fail to drain the biliary tract, such as in cases of hilar obstruction or altered anatomy. It describes accessing the biliary tree via the liver using interventional radiology techniques. Percutaneous cholecystostomy is an alternative for critically ill patients with acute cholecystitis who are poor surgical candidates. The document provides detailed guidance on patient preparation, imaging, techniques, post-procedure care, and potential complications for each intervention.
Hepatic imaging
This document provides an overview of abdominal imaging with a focus on hepatic CT and MRI imaging. It discusses indications for hepatic imaging including assessing equivocal findings, staging neoplasms, metastatic workup, and evaluating diffuse hepatic diseases and biliary abnormalities. It then covers patient preparation, positioning, and protocols for hepatic CT and MRI. The remainder of the document details normal hepatic anatomy and vasculature as well as descriptions of benign and malignant focal and diffuse hepatic lesions with accompanying imaging examples.
IMAGING: NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS
A 16-year-old boy was admitted with abnormal movements of his left thumb and left eyelid for over 1 hour. MRI scans showed lesions in his brain consistent with neurocysticercosis. Neurocysticercosis is caused by the pork tapeworm Taenia solium and has four pathogenic stages seen on imaging. The patient's symptoms, travel history, imaging findings, and positive blood tests confirmed a diagnosis of neurocysticercosis. He was treated with anti-seizure medications, anti-parasitic drugs, and steroids to reduce inflammation from degenerating parasites.

Radiology in portal hypertension
This document discusses the use of radiology in evaluating and managing portal hypertension. It begins by defining portal hypertension and describing how ultrasound can be used to diagnose it by measuring portal vein pressure and blood flow. Specific ultrasound findings that indicate portal hypertension are described, including enlarged portal veins, decreased flow, and the presence of collateral blood vessels. The document then discusses how computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can further evaluate the portal venous system and collateral vessels. It concludes by covering interventional radiology procedures like TIPS and variceal embolization that can treat portal hypertension by decompressing the portal vein or controlling its complications.
Presentation1, radiological imaging of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
Ultrasonography is the preferred imaging method for diagnosing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Key findings on ultrasound include thickening of the pyloric muscle greater than 3mm and elongation of the pyloric channel greater than 17mm. Doppler ultrasound can also detect increased blood flow to the hypertrophied pyloric muscle and mucosa. While upper gastrointestinal studies with barium can identify signs like double tracking, ultrasonography has greater sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
MR spectroscopy
1. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides information about the metabolic and biochemical composition of brain tissue by detecting certain metabolites. It can help differentiate between various brain pathologies and tumor types.
2. Common metabolites detected by MRS include NAA, creatine, choline, myoinositol, and lactate. Changes in levels of these metabolites indicate different disease states. For example, decreased NAA and increased choline suggest a brain tumor.
3. MRS has various clinical applications such as distinguishing tumor recurrence from treatment effects like radiation necrosis, tumor grading, aiding tumor biopsy, and monitoring responses to therapy. It provides complementary information to structural MRI for diagnostic and management purposes.

Renovascular hypertension is a common cause of secondary hypertension that results from renal artery stenosis. It can be diagnosed through imaging tests like Doppler ultrasound, MRI/CT angiography, and renal scintigraphy. These tests identify anatomical narrowing of the renal arteries and assess renal perfusion and function before and after administration of drugs that stimulate the renin-angiotensin system. Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting are endovascular procedures used to treat renovascular hypertension in select patients with refractory or progressive hypertension related to renal artery stenosis. The choice of imaging test depends on factors like renal function and bilateral versus unilateral involvement to identify and characterize renal artery stenosis safely and effectively.
Pediatric chest part 2
The document discusses various pediatric mediastinal masses including lymphoma, thymic hyperplasia, thymoma, germ cell tumors, and cysts. Hodgkin's lymphoma typically presents as a primary mediastinal lesion while non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually manifests as generalised disease. Thymic hyperplasia appears as diffuse enlargement of the thymus on imaging. Thymoma is the most common primary tumor and appears as a well-defined anterior mediastinal mass. Teratomas often contain fat, soft tissue, and calcium. Cystic lesions include bronchogenic cysts which are usually located near the trachea or bronchi, and pericardial cysts which abut
Imaging of portal hypertension
This document discusses non-invasive imaging techniques for evaluating portal hypertension. Ultrasound is the most widely used initial imaging modality to assess for portal vein patency, presence of collaterals, portal blood flow, and changes of cirrhosis. CT and MRI can further evaluate the portal venous system and collateral vessels. Ultrasound Doppler is used to measure portal blood flow direction, velocity, and assess for portosystemic collaterals and changes in hepatic veins. Imaging findings of various etiologies of portal hypertension are described, including cirrhosis, non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis, portal vein thrombosis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and extrahepatic causes.

18F-FDG PET/MRI VS PET/CT IN DETECTION OF BONE METASTASIS IN BREAST CANCER PA...
In a study comparing 18F-FDG PET/MRI to PET/CT and conventional imaging for detecting bone metastases in breast cancer patients:
- 23 patients with breast cancer underwent whole-body 18F-FDG PET/MRI and results were compared to PET alone and contrast-enhanced MRI.
- PET/MRI detected more bone metastases than PET alone (mean 3.57 vs 2.87, p=0.026) but similar to CE-MRI (mean 3.43, p=0.083).
- A second study retrospectively evaluated 23 breast cancer patients comparing PET/MRI to prior PET/CT, bone scintigraphy, and CE-MRI. PET/MRI identified more metastases than the
Brest Cancer PET/CT SCAN.pptx
This document reviews the use of FDG PET/CT scans for patients with breast cancer. It discusses how PET/CT can help with initial staging by detecting unsuspected extraaxillary nodal or distant metastases, especially in patients with more advanced local disease. PET/CT may also better evaluate treatment response compared to CT scans. While PET/CT has limitations for the primary breast tumor due to size and histologic factors, it provides clinical value in multiple settings for breast cancer patients.
Crash course in nuclear medicine
This document discusses molecular imaging techniques using radiopharmaceuticals and gamma cameras or PET cameras. It describes various radiotracers including isotope salts, chelated isotopes, and metabolic substrate analogues. It explains how these tracers can provide information about drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The advantages and disadvantages of SPECT and PET imaging are summarized. Clinical applications of molecular imaging techniques for conditions like pulmonary embolism, thyroid disorders, bone imaging, and cardiac imaging are also briefly mentioned.
Whole body screening – risks and benefits
Whole body screening using CT involves risks and benefits that are debated. While it may detect some cancers early, many abnormalities detected may not be life-threatening. Following up on these abnormalities could lead to patient anxiety, additional testing with radiation exposure or other risks, and overdiagnosis of inconsequential findings. Current policies support targeted CT screening for certain high-risk individuals but do not recommend whole body screening for healthy asymptomatic people due to a lack of evidence for clear benefits outweighing the risks.
GYNECOLOGICAL CANCER ROLE OF RADIOTHERAPY
The document discusses the role of radiotherapy in gynecological cancers. It provides details about Dr. Puneet Seth, a radiation oncologist with over 15 years of experience. It then discusses the various gynecological cancer types and how radiotherapy is used as an important treatment modality either alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. The document outlines the radiotherapy techniques available for gynecological cancers including 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, IGRT and brachytherapy. It highlights the improvements in radiotherapy over time that have led to better tumor control and reduced side effects.
Pregnancy Outcome in Cancer Patients
Pregnancy does not negatively impact cancer prognosis. Cancer can be diagnosed or treated during pregnancy with careful management. A multidisciplinary team is needed to determine the safest diagnostic methods and treatment options while minimizing risk to the fetus. Ultrasound and MRI are generally considered safe imaging techniques in pregnancy. Chemotherapy may be given during pregnancy for some cancers but is typically avoided in the first trimester and near delivery. Fertility can decrease after cancer treatment but pregnancy after treatment usually has a normal outcome.
Clinical use of the sono photo-dynamic therapy
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), a procedure related with photodynamic therapy, is a promising new modality for treating deep-seated cancer.
Esophageal cancer-role of RT
This document discusses the management of carcinoma of the esophagus. It begins by outlining treatment approaches for localized versus metastatic disease, including definitive and palliative therapies. It then reviews the evolution of esophageal cancer treatment, including non-surgical approaches using radiation therapy alone or combined modality therapy, as well as surgical treatments. Several studies evaluating different treatment regimens are summarized, including the benefits of concurrent chemoradiation therapy over radiation alone. The role of preoperative chemoradiation is discussed. Techniques for radiation therapy delivery are also outlined. The document concludes by discussing palliative care approaches for esophageal cancer patients.
Prostate cancer
This document discusses prostate cancer, including:
1. It is the second most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. Rates are closely related to age and vary geographically.
2. Treatment depends on risk level, ranging from active surveillance for very low risk to radiation therapy or prostatectomy for low risk to radiation plus long-term androgen deprivation therapy for high risk.
3. For metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, adding docetaxel chemotherapy to initial androgen deprivation therapy improves progression-free and overall survival compared to androgen deprivation therapy alone.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 10. Preparation for PET CT Before the test, we suggest you talk to your child about what will happen. For young children, use simple words and explain only shortly before the test. Also know we recommend sedation for children under age 5. Also before your visit, please: Arrive at least 15 minutes before your child's scheduled appointment time. Do not allow food, drink (except water) or chewing gum at least six hours before your visit - all can interfere with results. Do allow the child to drink plenty of water. Dress the child in comfortable clothing, avoiding metal snaps and zippers - all can interfere with results. After arrival, we may suggest the child wear a hospital gown. Keep the child away from strenuous physical exercise 24 hours before your visit. For older children, bring a book, DVD or toy to play with while waiting. If on the day of the test, your child feels feverish, please let us know.
