Gastric-emptying studies have no accepted standard methodology or reference values. A
simplified standardized protocol with a large reference database has been proposed, with …

After the extravasation of a therapeutic dose of 131 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine that produced
a radiation burn to a patient's forearm, we instituted a catheter placement verification …

Intensity-modulated whole pelvic radiation therapy (IM-WPRT) has decreased the incidence
of gastrointestinal complications by reducing the volume of normal tissue irradiated in …

Purpose: A standardized 4-hour gastric-emptying protocol has been recommended by a
consensus panel. However, a study length of 4 hours may be inconvenient. The purpose of this …

Purpose: To identify dosimetric factors correlated with acute gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity in
gynecology patients undergoing intensity-modulated whole pelvic radiation therapy (IM-WPRT…

Purpose: The authors investigated the effects of iodinated contrast agents on the quantification
of radioactivity obtained using a combined single photon emission tomography (SPECT) …

Background: Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) is used to obtain peripheral
lung tissue samples for evaluation and staging of central and peripheral lung lesions. Jet …

Predicting late‐term normal‐tissue complication probability (NTCP) after radiotherapy is an
important factor in the optimization of conformal radiotherapy. We propose a new NTCP …

Prompted by clinical concerns for false-negative tests, we implemented a clinical intervention
consisting of a training session and an image-based verification procedure to document …

OBJECTIVE. Renal cortical scintigraphy with 99m Tc dimer captosuccinic acid (DMSA) is the
standard method to detect acute pyelonephritis and cortical scarring. Different acquisition …
