(A) Examples of B-mode images for the measurement of membrane thickness of implants from each of the four types of implants. Images are presented at the same scale. Membrane thicknesses (B) and then shear moduli measured by ARFI method (C) are compared without dissociation as a function of prosthesis age or implantation time. (NS: p-value > 0.05, *: p-value < 0.05, **: p-value < 0.01, ***: p-value < 0.001).

Patient with extensive lung and pleural disease. (2a) The PET/CT was available prior to the biopsy showing heterogeneous F-18 FDG radiotracer uptake and delineating the most accessible area of increased metabolic activity. (2b) The biopsy was targeted to the area of increased activity area and was positive for malignant diagnosis. Image courtesy of the European Journal of Radiology.

PET/CT scans show value in patients with rare type of pancreatitis
By Will Morton
F-18 FDG-PET/CT scans may help predict relapses in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis.
January 19, 2024
F-18 FDG-PET/CT images of patients. (A) Image of a 61-year-old male patient with type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) demonstrating diffuse enlargement of the pancreas (arrows). The serum IgG4 level was 2,260.0 mg/dL, and the TLG2.5 was 413.8 g/ml×cm3. According to the nomogram, his relapse probability is more than 95%. The patient discontinued steroid use during the maintenance phase, and 7 months later, he relapsed, with imaging showing diffuse re-enlargement of the pancreas. (B) Image of a 60-year-old male patient with type 1 AIP, showing focal enlargement in the head of the pancreas (arrows). The serum IgG4 level was 980 mg/dL, and the TLG2.5 was 92.7.0 g/ml×cm3. According to the nomogram, the patient’s relapse probability is less than 50%. After symptom relief, the patient did not receive maintenance treatment, and has been followed up for 4 years without relapse. Image courtesy of BMC Gastroenterology.
