A new semiquantitative method for comparing brain tumor uptake of Tc-99m sestamibi and TI-201.

abstract：PURPOSE:No study has analyzed a sizeable cohort that comprised solely peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients for the diagnostic and prognostic performance of F-FDG PET/CT for bone marrow (BM) involvement. This study aimed to investigate the utility of PET/CT for the identification of BM involvement and to explore i...
