Visual and quantitative PET image analyses were performed, and patients were dichotomized into progressive (PD) and non-PD according to Response Evaluation Criteria in PSMA‑imaging (RECIP1.0) and PSMA-PET Progression criteria (PPP). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Cohen's Kappa (<i>κ</i>) was used to test the agreement between the two criteria.

Hence, we proposed a simple method to shorten the apparent dead time and reduce dead-time loss using a thin lead sheet in previous work. The collimator surface of the gamma camera was covered with a lead sheet in our proposed method. While allowing the detection of 208-keV gamma photons of Lu-177 that penetrate the sheet, photons with energies lower than 208 keV, which cause dead-time loss, were shielded.

Flourine-18 flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (<sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET) volumetric metabolic parameters, i.e., metabolic tumour volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) play an important role in assessing the biological characteristics of some tumours and its role as potential prognostic factors has also been introduced.</p><h3>Objectives</h3><p>The aim of this retrospective study is to assess the value of baseline metabolic volumetric parameters as prognostic imaging biomarkers in patients with pulmonary masses/nodules treated with SABR.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>70 patients were included in this retrospective study (39 male and 31 female, age range 47–91 years, mean 76 years). Standardized uptake value (SUVmax), SUVmean, MTV and TLG for all the patients were calculated on baseline <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT. Patient outcome was divided into 3 categories free of disease, stable disease and disease progression.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>There was no significant statistical difference in the SUVmax and SUVmean in all the three categories. Mean SUVmax ranges from 7.13 to 8.08 with its highest value in the stable disease and lowest value in the progressive disease categories.

Despite the rapid adoption of LLMs in various medical specialties, their integration into nuclear medicine has not yet been sufficiently explored. We first discuss the latest developments in nuclear medicine, including new radiopharmaceuticals, imaging techniques, and clinical applications. We then analyze how LLMs are being utilized in radiology, particularly in report generation, image interpretation, and medical education. We highlight the potential of LLMs to enhance nuclear medicine practices, such as improving report structuring, assisting in diagnosis, and facilitating research. However, challenges remain, including the need for improved reliability, explainability, and bias reduction in LLMs. The review also addresses the ethical considerations and potential limitations of AI in healthcare. In conclusion, LLMs have significant potential to transform existing frameworks in nuclear medicine, making it a critical area for future research and development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8007,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Nuclear Medicine","volume":"38 11","pages":"853 - 864"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142339714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
