The incidence of cancer and mortality from the disease are rapidly increasing worldwide as a reflection of lifestyle habits and population aging, making early diagnosis and therapy important in disease control. Whether in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, Nuclear Medicine stands out from other medical modalities employed in Oncology due to its ability to operate at a molecular scale, …
Brown adipose tissue /BAT plays an important role in thermoregulation. The decoupling between the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation is mediated by uncoupling protein-1/UCP-1, which leads to the release of energy as heat, without ATP formation. BAT is activated by sympathetic noradrenergic stimuli, with exposure to cold being the main physiological stimulus. Positron e…
Radionuclide therapy is recognized as a medical procedure for over 70 years. Among the procedures of the Brazilian Health System is represented mainly by radioactive iodine treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid carcinoma. The activity of radionuclides used for therapeutic purposes is often determined empirically. The internal dosimetry can be used for radionuclide therapy, planning, th…
Radioiodine therapy is an accepted alternative for the treatment of hyperthyroidism in Grave's disease. Its effects and indications have been extensively studied for more than 60 years, confirming it as a cost-effective and safe modality. Even though, the lack of a standardized treatment protocol leads to a variable patient response rate and to a lack of consensus about the ideal administ…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia. The presence of betaamyloid (A²) plaques characteristic of AD can be detected in vivo by positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) with amyloid tracers, usually analyzed by visual criteria with occasional assistance from semiquantitative techniques. This retrospective study aims to employ artifi…
Prostate cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in men, excluding non-melanoma skin tumors, accounting for approximately 25% of the new cancers diagnosed in the Brazilian male population. Radioligand therapies have shown promise in the treatment of specific neoplasms. Lutetium-177 labeled PSMA (177Lu-PSMA-617) has been used for patients with metastatic carcinoma resistant to chemica…
