This promising imaging modality has demonstrated superior sensitivity and specificity for detecting local, regional, and distant recurrences compared with conventional imaging modalities. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the practical interpretation of 18 F DCFPyL PET/CT in the management of prostate cancer, including its advantages, potential pitfalls, and comparison to other imaging techniques. Through a better understanding of 18 F DCFPyL PET/CT, clinicians can more effectively incorporate this advanced imaging tool into routine clinical practice, ultimately optimizing prostate cancer diagnosis, staging, and management.","PeriodicalId":29694,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136183149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because FBs can practically be found in all major organ systems of the human body and may occasionally intimidate normal activity and function, early and specific diagnosis can have a significant impact on treatment—that is where radiologists play a vital role helping the clinicians avoid unproductive diagnostic odysseys.","PeriodicalId":29694,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135353413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent advances make it possible to establish the presence and assess the size of the pericardial effusion, its hemodynamic impact, and clarify the etiology. The aim of this article is to provide an update on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pericardial effusion.","PeriodicalId":29694,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46889076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
