DYNAMIC FDG PET/CT IMAGING: QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT, ADVANTAGES AND APPLICATION IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF MALIGNANT SOLID TUMORS

Dynamic FDG PET/CT imaging: quantitative assessment, advantages and application in the diagnosis of malignant solid tumors

Dynamic imaging has obtained remarkable achievements among a variety of malignant tumors due to the development of multiple simplified scanning protocols and the emergence of whole-body PET/CT scanners, which promote wider application of dynamic PET/CT.In this paper, we mainly review the acquisition protocols of dynamic imaging, related kinetic par

Jaw lift causes less laryngeal interference during lightwand-guided intubation than combined jaw and tongue traction applied by single operator

Lightwand-guided intubation is a semi-blind technique that takes advantage of the anterior location of the trachea in relation to the oesophagus.Fibreoptic evaluation of lightwand-guided intubation has revealed a possibility of laryngeal interference and epiglottic distortion.Jaw lift, tongue traction or a combination of both have been used to assi
