A positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan using 18F-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA ) 1007 revealed significant uptake at the prostate apex and multiple hypermetabolic osseous lesions in the sternum and L3, suggestive of local recurrence and metastasis. However, several hypermetabolic foci in the abdominopelvic region raised suspicion for potential involvement of the lumbar-aortic lymph nodes due to their moderate to intense uptake. After further investigation, these findings were attributed to active aortic calcifications. This case highlights a rare cause of false-positive results in 18F-PSMA 1007 PET/CT imaging and underscores the need for additional evaluations, such as abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging and renal and phosphocalcic assessments, when such results are suspected.","PeriodicalId":44681,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144761734","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}

In 98 patients, telomere lengths in leukocytes (from blood), cfDNA (from plasma), and biopsy cells were measured using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction method, and the relative telomere/single copy gene (T/S) ratio was calculated. Based on cytological examination results, patients were categorized into three groups: malignant, benign, and suspicious. Group differences were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square tests, and correlations between variables were examined with Spearman correlation analysis.Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy for diagnosing malignant thyroid nodules were 64.70%, 79.16%, 29.72%, 83.51%, and 67.96%, respectively. While these results align with the literature, the positive predictive value was notably lower. No significant differences were observed in telomere lengths (T/S ratios) in leukocytes, plasma, or tissue between the groups.Conclusion: Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy demonstrates reasonable diagnostic accuracy for identifying malignancy in thyroid nodules. Contrary to limited reports, telomere length measurements may not be a reliable method for predicting thyroid malignancy. Larger studies are needed to further explore these findings.","PeriodicalId":44681,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy","volume":"34 2","pages":"97-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12134959/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144209829","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}

Glucose transporter protein-1 (GLUT-1)-XbaI G>T (rs2754218) and HaeIII T>C (rs1385129) polymorphisms and their effects on 18F-FDG uptake rates were investigated using DNA obtained from peripheral blood.Results: When the Xbal G>T genotype distribution of the patients was examined, the Xbal G/G genotype was found to be 87%, the Xbal G/T genotype 12%. The XbaI T/T phenotype was detected in only one patient (1%). In the HaeIII T>C genotype distribution, the HaeIII C/C genotype was found as 54%, the HaeIII T/C genotype as 31%, and the HaeIII T/T genotype as 15%.

He was referred to our nuclear medicine department for a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT with the aim of improving tumor localization and assisting in the guidance of repeat prostate biopsy. One month before presentation of elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, he underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), which revealed a prostate imaging reporting and data system 4 lesion in the right lobe of the prostate gland.
