Key points addressed include justifying therapy based on clinical benefits, ensuring proper training and responsibilities of medical personnel, constraining doses to comforters and visitors, providing instructions to hospitalized patients, and surveying rooms prior to releasing patients or decommissioning areas.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine is an imaging specialty that uses radioactive tracers and detection systems to examine organ and tissue function. Tracers are introduced into the body and selectively taken up by organs, then detected by gamma cameras to create functional images. Common tracers include technetium-99m, iodine-131, and fluorine-18. The field has its origins in the late 19th century discoveries of x-rays and radioactivity by Roentgen, Becquerel, and the Curies. Pioneering work by Rutherford, Bohr, Chadwick, Lawrence and others led to an understanding of nuclear structure and the development of cyclotrons to produce artificial radionuclides for medical use.

It was created by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield in 1971 and assigns a number to each point scanned, with -1000 HU representing air, 0 HU representing water, and densities increasing positively for tissues. Common tissues and materials have the following representative HU values: lung -200 to -400 HU; fat -50 to -100 HU; white matter 20-30 HU; kidney 20-40 HU; spleen 35-55 HU; grey matter 37-45 HU; blood 45-65 HU; liver 45-65 HU; hematoma 40-90 H
PET-MRI BASIC PRINCIPAL
PET-MRI is a hybrid imaging technology that combines the functional PET imaging with the high soft tissue contrast of MRI. Early prototypes combined a brain-only PET scanner with MRI, but now full-body scanners exist from Siemens, GE, and Philips. MRI uses hydrogen protons' magnetic properties to generate images, and the human body contains large percentages of hydrogen atoms. PET-MRI provides synergistic molecular and anatomical information without ionizing radiation compared to PET-CT. Clinical uses especially benefit oncology, cardiology, and neurology evaluations where soft tissue detail is important.
Adverse reactions and management of contrast reactions
The document provides information on contrast media used in medical imaging. It begins with acknowledging those who helped with the project. It then discusses the objectives of the study which are to define contrast media, explain types and reactions, and responsibilities during contrast studies.

It provides details on various contrast agents used for different medical imaging modalities like CT, MRI, ultrasound and their routes of administration.
computed Tomography
Computed tomography (CT) uses rotating X-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. CT provides advantages over conventional radiography like distinguishing between tissues with similar densities and detecting differences as small as 0.5% contrast. Modern CT systems use multiple detector rows to acquire multiple slices simultaneously during each rotation, improving coverage and reducing scan time. Advanced techniques like multiplanar reformation and 3D rendering provide additional diagnostic information from CT images. Artifacts can arise from factors like the helical acquisition and differences between detector rows.
History of radiology
This document provides a history of radiology, beginning with discoveries in electricity, vacuum, and magnetism in the 17th-18th centuries that paved the way for X-rays. It then summarizes key events and discoveries in the late 19th century including Roentgen's discovery of X-rays in 1895 and early uses in medicine. The document also discusses early pioneers in dental radiology in the late 19th century and growth of the field in the 20th century along with important innovations and the realization of radiation hazards.

SPECT/PET Scans
PET scans use radioactive tracers and positron emission tomography to create 3D images of processes in the body. A PET scan injects a radioactive tracer into the bloodstream which is detected as it undergoes positron emission. This allows PET scans to detect cancer, diagnose Alzheimer's disease early, and determine if bypass surgery would be effective. Possible side effects include injection site soreness and allergic reactions to the tracer. SPECT scans also use radioactive tracers but detect blood flow through the body. SPECT scans emit less radiation than PET scans or CT scans and are commonly used for pre-surgical evaluations and detecting reduced blood flow or tumors.

X -Rays
William Rontgen was a German physicist born in 1845 who is renowned for his discovery of X-rays in 1895. While experimenting with cathode ray tubes, Rontgen noticed that a nearby screen would fluoresce even when shielded from visible light, and he realized he had discovered a new type of radiation. He named these unknown rays "X-rays" and went on to show that they could pass through and photograph human tissue. Rontgen's discovery revolutionized fields like physics and medicine, and he was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901 for his work. Today, X-rays remain widely used in medical imaging and other applications, and Rontgen is honored as the discoverer of this

Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays in 1895 while experimenting with cathode ray tubes. He noticed that barium platinocyanide crystals near the tube glowed even when shielded, indicating the emission of a new type of radiation. Further experiments showed that x-rays could pass through objects at different rates and produce images of internal structures and bones on photographic plates. Roentgen named these rays "x-rays" and announced his discovery, sparking great interest in using x-rays for medical and other applications. Other scientists like Becquerel, the Curies, and Rutherford then discovered different types of radioactive emissions and elements like radium, establishing the new field of radioactivity and nuclear physics.

History of surgery
Surgery has a long history, with the earliest known surgeries dating back over 7,000 years to trepanation procedures in Ukraine. Significant developments include ancient Egyptian brain surgery, Sushruta's pioneering of plastic surgery techniques in India in 600 BC, and advances made by Greek physicians like Hippocrates and Galen. In medieval times, surgery declined but was practiced by barbers and monks. Key historical figures helped establish modern surgical principles like controlling bleeding (Pare), understanding anatomy (Vesalius), anesthesia (Morton), antisepsis (Lister), and advances in multiple surgical specialties in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Major 20th century developments include antibiotics, trans

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.
