Is (99m)Tc-labelled pamidronate a better agent than (99m)Tc-medronate for bone imaging?

abstract：PURPOSE:There is evidence that the status of human papilloma virus subtype 16 (HPV-p16) alters the prognosis of patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OSCC). We sought to establish whether there is a relationship between HPV-p16 status and 18F-FDG uptake in the prognosis of OSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Patie...
