  abstract  = {Ziel: Der Therapieerfolg der Radiosynoviorthese sollte bei rheumatoider Arthritis und anderen entz{\"u}ndlichen Gelenkerkrankungen anhand subjektiver, objektiver, so wie laborchemischer und bildgebender Parameter prospektiv beurteilt werden. Methode: Es wurden insgesamt 174 Gelenke bei 97 Patienten behandelt, wobei 55\% der Patienten an einer rheumatoiden Arthritis und 23\% an einer aktivierten Arthrose litten.Die Ver{\"a}nderungen 6 Monate nach einer Radiosynoviorthese wurden sowohl an subjektiven, wie auch an objektiven Parametern (Schmerz, Schwellung, Gelenk-beweglichkeit) evaluiert. Zus{\"a}tzlich wurden laborchemische Parameter (CRP, BSG), bildgebende Verfahren (Skelett-szintigraphie, MRT) und Einnahme von Medikamenten beurteilt. Eine weitere Befragung zum Wiederauftreten von Beschwerden (Rezidiv) erfolgte in Zeit-r{\"a}umen zwischen einem und drei Jahren nach der Radiosynoviorthese. Ergebnisse: Gute Erfolge in 60 bis 80\% der F{\"a}lle zeigten sich bei der klinischen Symptomatik, sowohl auf subjektiver, als auch auf objektiver Ebene, wobei sich in der Korrelationsanalyse niedrige Werte zwischen den subjektiven und objektiven Parametern ergeben hatten. Bei 55\% der Gelenke hatte sich die Schmerzintensit{\"a}t verringert, 23\% waren g{\"a}nzlich schmerzfrei. Die objektiv gemessene {\"A}nderung der Gelenkbeweglichkeit hatte bei 73\% eine Besserung ergeben, 12\% waren uneingeschr{\"a}nkt beweglich, bei 68\% war die Schwellung zur{\"u}ckgegangen. Die Radionuklidaufnahme in der Weichteilphase der Sklettszintigraphie verminderte sich bei 58\% der Gelenke, die Kernspin-tomographie ergab bei 44\% der Kniegelenke einen Entz{\"u}ndungsr{\"u}ckgang. Rezidive traten nach einem bis drei Jahren nur bei 15\% der Patienten auf.Die labor-chemischen Parameter sowie die Medikamenteneinnahme wurden durch die Radiosynoviorthese nicht beeinflusst. Schlussfolgerung: Die Radiosynoviorthese liefert auf subjektiver und objektiver Ebene gute Ergebnisse im Sinne einer Besserung. Sie ist dabei eine schonende Therapieform, die ohne Risiken einer Operation gleichzeitig an mehreren Gelenke vorgenommen und gegebenfalls wiederholt werden kann. Sie bietet damit somit eine gute Therapie-m{\"o}glichkeit im Rahmen der interdisziplin{\"a}ren Behandlungsformen dar.},

  abstract  = {BACKGROUND: We observed a disproportional 18 F-fluorothymidine (F-FLT) uptake in follicular lymphoma (FL) relative to its low cell proliferation. We tested the hypothesis that the 'excess' uptake of 18 F-FLT in FL is related to error-prone DNA repair and investigated whether this also contributes to 18 F-FLT uptake in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS: We performed immunohistochemical stainings to assess the pure DNA replication marker MIB-1 as well as markers of both DNA replication and repair like PCNA, TK-1 and RPA1 on lymph node biopsies of 27 FLs and 35 DLBCLs. In 7 FL and 15 DLBCL patients, 18 F-FLT-PET had been performed. RESULTS: 18 F-FLT uptake was lower in FL than in DLBCL (median SUVmax 5.7 vs. 8.9, p = 0,004), but the ratio of 18 F-FLT-SUVmax to percentage of MIB-1 positive cells was significantly higher in FL compared with DLBCL (p = 0.001). The median percentage of MIB-1 positive cells was 10\% (range, 10\% to 20\%) in FL and 70\% (40\% to 80\%) in DLBCL. In contrast, the median percentages of PCNA, TK-1 and RPA1 positive cells were 90\% (range, 80 to 100), 90\% (80 to 100) and 100\% (80 to 100) in FL versus 90\% (60 to 100), 90\% (60 to 100) and 100\% (80 to 100) in DLBCL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first demonstration of a striking discordance between 18 F-FLT uptake in FL and tumour cell proliferation. High expression of DNA replication and repair markers compared with the pure proliferation marker MIB-1 in FL suggests that this discordance might be due to error-prone DNA repair. While DNA repair-related 18 F-FLT uptake considerably contributes to 18 F-FLT uptake in FL, its contribution to 18 F-FLT uptake in highly proliferative DLBCL is small. This apparently high contribution of DNA repair to the 18 F-FLT signal in FL may hamper studies where 18 F-FLT is used to assess response to cytostatic therapy or to distinguish between FL and transformed lymphoma.},

  abstract  = {Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has become commonly utilized in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). The PSMA reporting and data system version 1.0 (PSMA-RADS version 1.0) categorizes lesions on the basis of the likelihood of PCa involvement, with PSMA-RADS-3A (soft tissue) and PSMA-RADS-3B (bone) lesions being indeterminate for the presence of disease. We retrospectively reviewed the imaging follow-up of such lesions to determine the rate at which they underwent changes suggestive of underlying PCa. Methods: PET/CT imaging with \(^{18}\)F-DCFPyL was carried out in 110 patients with PCa and lesions were categorized according to PSMA-RADS Version 1.0. 56/110 (50.9\%) patients were determined to have indeterminate PSMA-RADS-3A or PSMA-RADS-3B lesions and 22/56 (39.3\%) patients had adequate follow-up to be included in the analysis. The maximum standardized uptake values (SUV\(_{max}\)) of the lesions were obtained and the ratios of SUV\(_{max}\) of the lesions to SUV\(_{mean}\) of blood pool (SUV\(_{max}\)-lesion/SUV\(_{mean}\)-bloodpool) were calculated. Pre-determined criteria were used to evaluate the PSMA-RADS-3A and PSMA-RADS-3B lesions on follow-up imaging to determine if they demonstrated evidence of underlying malignancy. Results: A total of 46 lesions in 22 patients were considered indeterminate for PCa (i.e. PSMA-RADS-3A (32 lesions) or PSMA-RADS-3B (14 lesions)) and were evaluable on follow-up imaging. 27/46 (58.7\%) lesions demonstrated changes on follow-up imaging consistent with the presence of underlying PCa at baseline. These lesions included 24/32 (75.0\%) PSMA-RADS-3A lesions and 3/14 (21.4\%) lesions categorized as PSMA-RADS-3B. The ranges of SUVmax and SUVmax-lesion/SUVmean-bloodpool overlapped between those lesions demonstrating changes consistent with malignancy on follow-up imaging and those lesions that remained unchanged on follow-up. Conclusion: PSMA-RADS-3A and PSMA-RADS-3B lesions are truly indeterminate in that proportions of findings in both categories demonstrate evidence of malignancy on follow-up imaging. Overall, PSMA-RADS-3A lesions are more likely than PSMA-RADS-3B lesions to represent sites of PCa and this information should be taken into when guiding patient therapy.},

  abstract  = {This study aimed to explore the correlation between imaging patterns and clinical features in patients with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) who simultaneously underwent 18F-FDG, 11C-Methionine, and 68Ga-Pentixafor positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We retrieved and analyzed clinical characteristics and PET imaging data of 10 patients with SMM. We found a significant correlation between bone marrow (BM) plasma cell (PC) infiltration and mean standardized uptake values (SUV\(_{mean}\)) of lumbar vertebrae L2-L4 on 11C-Methionine PET/CT scans (r = 0.676, p = 0.031) and 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT scans (r = 0.839, p = 0.002). However, there was no significant correlation between BM involvement and SUV\(_{mean}\) of lumbar vertebrae L2-L4 on 18F-FDG PET/CT scans (r = 0.558, p = 0.093). Similarly, mean target-to-background ratios (TBR\(_{mean}\)) of lumbar vertebrae L2-L4 also correlated with bone marrow plasma cell (BMPC) infiltration in 11C-Methionine PET/CT (r = 0.789, p = 0.007) and 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT (r = 0.724, p = 0.018) PET/CT. In contrast, we did not observe a significant correlation between BMPC infiltration rate and TBR\(_{mean}\) in 18F-FDG PET/CT (r = 0.355, p = 0.313). Additionally, on 11C-Methionine PET/CT scans, we found a significant correlation between BMPC infiltration and TBR\(_{max}\) of lumbar vertebrae L2-L4 (r = 0.642, p = 0.045). In conclusion, 11C-Methionine and 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT demonstrate higher sensitivity than 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting BM involvement in SMM.},

  abstract  = {Utilizing 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), we performed this pilot study to evaluate the link between cytogenetic/genomic markers and imaging patterns in relapsed/refractory (RR) multiple myeloma (MM). We retrospectively analyzed data of 24 patients with RRMM who were treated at our institution between November 2018 and February 2020. At the last relapse/progression, patients had been treated with a median of three (range 1-10) lines of therapy. Six (25\%) patients showed FDG avid extramedullary disease without adjacency to bone. We observed significantly higher maximum standardized uptake values (SUV\(_{max}\)) in patients harboring del(17p) compared with those without del(17p) (p = 0.025). Moreover, a high SUV\(_{max}\) of >15 indicated significantly shortened progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.01) and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.0002). One female patient exhibited biallelic TP53 alteration, i.e., deletion and mutation, in whom an extremely high SUV\(_{max}\) of 37.88 was observed. In summary, this pilot study suggested a link between del(17p)/TP53 alteration and high SUV\(_{max}\) on 18F-FDG PET/CT in RRMM patients. Further investigations are highly warranted at this point.},
