    Abstract There are a number of normal variants and pitfalls which are important to consider when evaluating F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in breast cancer patients. Although FDG-PET is not indicated for the initial diagnosis of breast cancer, focally increased glucose metabolism within breast tissue represents a high likelihood for a neoplastic process and requires further evaluation. Focally increased glucose metabolism is not unique to breast cancer. Other malignancies such as lymphoma, metastases from solid tumors as well as inflammatory changes also may demonstrate increased glucose metabolism either within the breast or at other sites throughout the body. Importantly, benign breast disease may also exhibit increased glucose metabolism, limiting the specificity of FDG-PET. Breast cancer has a wide range of metabolic activity attributed to tumor heterogeneity and breast cancer subtype. Intracellular signaling pathways regulating tumor glucose utilization contribute to these pitfalls of PET/CT in breast cancer. The evaluation of axillary lymph nodes by FDG-PET is less accurate than sentinel lymph node procedure, however is very accurate in identifying level II and III axillary lymph node metastases or retropectoral metastases. It is important to note that non-malignant inflammation in lymph nodes are often detected by modern PET/CT technology. Therefore, particular consideration should be given to recent vaccinations, particularly to COVID-19, which can commonly result in increased metabolic activity of axillary nodes. Whole body FDG-PET for staging of breast cancer requires specific attention to physiologic variants of FDG distribution and a careful comparison with co-registered anatomical imaging. The most important pitfalls are related to inflammatory changes including sarcoidosis, sarcoid like reactions, and other granulomatous diseases as well as secondary neoplastic processes.

    Abstract Purpose: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is considered the standard of care for medically inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. There is mixed evidence on the prognostic significance of tumor metabolic activity assessed by positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV
    Methods and materials: Consecutive patients from a single institution with T12N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer receiving primary treatment with SBRT with pretreatment FDG-PET/CT (n = 163) and follow-up FDG-PET/CT at 3 or 6 months (n = 71) were included. Receiver operator characteristic analysis was performed to dichotomize variables for Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed with Cox proportional hazards regression.
    Results: Median follow-up was 19 months. For the whole cohort, 1-year and 2-year local control, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were 95.0% and 80.3%, 87.1% and 75.4%, and 67.0% and 49.6% respectively. The following pre-SBRT SUV

    Abstract Purpose: We tested a recently developed short peptide radioligand for PET imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by targeting an oncoprotein, extra-domain B fibronectin (EDB-FN) in the tumor microenvironment.
    Methods: The radioligand consists of a small linear peptide ZD2 with
    Results: For ZD2 avid liver tumors, the radioligand accumulation plateaued a few minutes after injection, while the liver background uptake stabilized 20 min post-injection. The status of EDB-FN in woodchuck HCC was confirmed by histology and validated by PCR and western blocking.
    Conclusion: We have showed the viability of using the ZD2 short peptide radioligand targeting EDB-FN in liver tumor tissue for PET imaging of HCC, which can potentially impact the clinical care for HCC patients.

    Abstract In this paper, the objective is to assess the histomechanical effects of collagen proteolysis in arteries under loading conditions reproducing in vivo environment. Thirteen segments of common porcine carotid arteries (8 proximal and 5 distal) were immersed in a bath of bacterial collagenase and tested with a pulsatile tension/inflation machine. Diameter, pressure and axial load were monitored throughout the tests and used to derive the stress-stretch curves and to determine the secant circumferential stiffness. Results were analysed separately for proximal and distal segments, before and after 1, 2 and 3 h of enzymatic degradation. A histological analysis was performed to relate the arterial microstructure to its mechanical behavior under collagen proteolysis. Control (before enzymatic degradation) and treated populations (after 1, 2 or 3 h of enzymatic degradation) were found statistically incomparable, and histology confirmed the alteration of the fibrous structure of collagen bundles induced by the collagenase treatment. A decrease of the secant circumferential stiffness of the arterial wall was noticed mostly at the beginning of the treatment, and was less pronounced after 1 h. These results constitute an important set of enzymatically damaged arteries that can be used to validate biomechanical computational models correlating structure and properties of blood vessels.
