Extravasation is a common problem in radiopharmaceutical administration and can result in
significant radiation dose to underlying tissue and skin. The resulting radiation effects are …

PET/CT radiotracer infiltration is not uncommon and is often outside the imaging field of
view. Infiltration can negatively affect image quality, image quantification, and patient …

Extravasation during radiopharmaceutical injection may occur with a frequency of more than
10%. In these cases, radioactivity remains within tissue and deposits unintended radiation …

Objetives Tc-99m Hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (HMDP) bone scintigraphy is
commonly used to diagnose bone disorders. We aimed to quantify and characterize the …

Introduction Extravasation or partial extravasation of the positron emission tomography
(PET) tracer negatively effects image quality in PET and the accuracy of the standard uptake …

The primary goal of diagnostic nuclear medicine is to provide complete and accurate reports
without equivocation or disclaimers. If specific clinical questions cannot be answered …

Introduction Calculation of the standard uptake value (SUV) and image quality in positron
emission tomography (PET) hinges on accurate dose delivery. Extravasation or partial …

Molecular imaging is uniquely positioned to address the challenges presented by precision
medicine, not only in accurately staging disease but also in assessing targeted therapies …

Background: Infiltrations of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) injections affect positron
emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) image quality and quantification. A …

Extravasation is the situation in which a nuclear medicine injection deposits some fraction of
its radioactivity into the soft tissue rather than the bloodstream and may result in a large local …
