The aim of this study is to assess the effect of 18 F-FDG PET/MRI on diagnosis and clinical decision making in the pre-operative work up of pCCA.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this single-centre pilot study patients with presumed resectable pCCA underwent state-of-the-art 18 F-FDG hybrid PET/MRI using digital silicone photomultiplier detectors integrated within a 3-Tesla bore. Data were collected on several baseline and imaging characteristics. The primary outcome measure was the added diagnostic information and the effect on clinical decision making. Secondary aim was to correlate quantitative PET signal intensity to patient- and tumour characteristics. High and low SUVmax subgroups related to the mean value were made. Significance of lesion- and patient characteristics with the high and low SUVmax subgroups, as well as TLR and TBR, was evaluated with Fisher's exact test or Mann-Whitney-U test.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In total 14 patients were included (mean age 62.4 years, 64% male). Final diagnosis was pCCA in 10 patients (71.4%), follicular lymphoma in one patient (7.1%) and benign disease in the remaining three patients. FDG-PET/MRI added valuable diagnostic information in six (43%) patients and affected clinical decision making in two of these patients (14%) by increasing confidence for malignancy which lead to the decision for surgery on short term. High SUVmax values were seen in half of cases with pCCA and half of cases with non-cancerous lesions. In addition, high SUVmax values were directly associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis when present (<i>p</i> = 0.03).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Simultaneous 18 F-FDG-PET/MRI added diagnostic information in six of fourteen patients and influenced clinical decision making in two patients (14%) with presumed resectable pCCA.</p>","PeriodicalId":19384,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11415321/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142292333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We delve into the concept of prompt engineering, a crucial technique for effectively utilizing GPT, and provide guidelines for designing optimal prompts. Through case studies, we demonstrate how GPT can be applied at various stages of the research process, including literature review, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. The utilization of GPT is expected to enhance research efficiency, stimulate creative thinking, facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, and increase the impact of research findings. However, it is essential to view GPT as a complementary tool rather than a substitute for human expertise, keeping in mind its limitations and ethical considerations. As GPT continues to evolve, researchers must develop a deep understanding of this technology and leverage its potential to advance their research endeavors while being mindful of its implications.</p>","PeriodicalId":19384,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11415314/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142292332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
