A new method for apparent diffusion coefficient measurement using sequential (18)F-FDG PET and MRI: correlation with histological grade of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.

abstract：:Whole body imaging with radioiodine can detect functioning metastases, which can often be effectively treated with appropriate amounts of radioiodine. Non-physiologic I-131 uptake detected on images is usually interpreted as suggesting functioning thyroid metastases. However, extra-thyroidal I-131 accumulation does no...
