    Abstract Objective: 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose PET/computed tomography ([ 18 F]FDG-PET/CT) is a widely used imaging method in the management of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). Our aim was to investigate the prognostic performance of different PET biomarkers in a multicenter setting.
    Methods: We investigated baseline volumetric values [metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG), also normalized for body weight] segmented with three different methods [>SUV4 (glob4); 41% isocontour (41pc), and a gradient-based lesion growing algorithm (grad)] and interim parameters [Deauville score, maximal standardized uptake value (ΔSUVmax), modified qPET, and ratio PET (rPET)] alongside clinical parameters (stage, revised International Prognostic Index), using 24-month progression-free survival as the clinical endpoint. Receiver operating characteristics analyses were performed to define optimal cutoff points for the continuous PET parameters.
    Results: A total of 107 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients were included (54 women; mean age: 53.7 years). MTV and TLG calculations showed good correlation among glob4, 41pc, and grad methods; however, optimal cutoff points were markedly different.Significantly different PFS was observed between low- and high-risk groups according to baseline MTV, body weight-adjusted (bwa) MTV, TLG, bwaTLG, as well as interim parameters Deauville score, ΔSUVmax, mqPET, and rPET. Univariate Cox regression analyses showed hazard ratios (HRs) lowest for bwaMTVglob4 (HR = 2.3) and highest for rPET (HR = 9.09). In a multivariate Cox-regression model, rPET was shown to be an independent predictor of PFS ( P  = 0.041; HR = 9.15). Combined analysis showed that ΔSUVmax positive patients with high MTV formed a group with distinctly poor PFS (35.3%).
    Conclusion: Baseline MTV and TLG values and optimal cutoff points achieved with different segmentation methods varied markedly and showed a limited prognostic impact. Interim PET/CT parameters provided more accurate prognostic information with semiquantitative 'Deauville-like' parameters performing best in the present study.

    Abstract PET/computed tomography (CT) combines the anatomic information from CT with PET metabolic characterization. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET is helpful to differentiate malignant lesions from benign ones, that usually show lower or no uptake. However, active inflammation or infectious disease might also present FDG uptake. Studies confirm the great value of PET/CT as the imaging method of choice for guiding biopsy procedures. Novel PET radiopharmaceuticals are also being investigated for guiding biopsies.

    Abstract Nowadays several new imaging modalities are available for investigating prostate cancer (PCa) such as magnet resonance imaging (MRI) in the form of whole body MRI and pelvic multiparametric MRI and positron emission tomography (PET) using choline as radiotracers. Nevertheless, these modalities proved sub-optimal accuracy for detecting PCa metastases, particularly in the recurrence setting. A new molecular probe targeting the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been recently developed for PET imaging. PSMA, the glutamate carboxypeptidase II, is a membrane bound metallo-peptidase over-expressed in PCa cells. It has been shown that PSMA based imaging offers higher tumor detection rate compared to choline PET/CT and radiological conventional imaging, especially at very low PSA levels during biochemical recurrence. In addition PSMA, as theranostics agent, allows both radiolabeling with diagnostic (e.g. 68Ga, 18F) or therapeutic nuclides (e.g. 177Lu, 225Ac). Initial results show that PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy can potentially delay disease progression in metastatic castrate-resistant PCa. Despite still investigational, the bombesin-based radiotracers and antagonist of gastrin releasing-peptide receptor (GRP) (RM2) and anti1-amino-3-18Ffluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (18F-FACBC) are emerging as possible alternatives for investigating PCa. Considering the wide diffusion of PCa in the Europe and the United States, the presence of these new diagnostic techniques able to detect the disease with high sensitivity and specificity might have a clinical impact on the management of patients. PET/CT imaging with new radiopharmaceuticals can implement the patient management identifying lesion(s) not detectable with conventional imaging procedures. In this review article will be discussed the most promising new PET radiopharmaceuticals (68Ga-PSMA-11, 18F-FACBC, 68Ga-RM2) available at the moment, focusing the attention on their accuracy and their impact on treatment strategy.

    Abstract During the past 10 years, performing real-time molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) in combination with computed tomography (CT) during interventional procedures has undergone rapid development. Keeping in mind the interest of the nuclear medicine readers, an update is provided of the current workflows using real-time PET/CT in percutaneous biopsies and tumor ablations. The clinical utility of PET/CT guided biopsies in cancer patients with lung, liver, lymphoma, and bone tumors are reviewed. Several technological developments, including the introduction of new PET tracers and robotic arms as well as opportunities provided through acquiring radioactive biopsy specimens are briefly reviewed.

    Abstract Biochemical recurrence (BCR) is a clinical challenge in prostate cancer (PCa) patients, as recurrence localization guides subsequent therapies. The use of PET with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) provides better accuracy than conventional imaging practice. This prospective, multicenter, international study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance and clinical impact of PSMA PET/CT for evaluating BCR in PCa patients in a worldwide scenario.
