## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The role and potential value of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in certain tumors has been widely investigated in recent years. The authors retrospectively assessed the performance of 18βFβfluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)βPET in the assessment of esophageal squamous c

## Abstract ## Background The aim of our study was to assess the value of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18Fβfluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for the staging of clinically nodal negative necks in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy and elect
We have investigated the ability of dopamine to compete with the binding of the high affinity dopamine D 2 receptor positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand, 18 F-fallypride. In vitro dissociation of 18 F-fallypride with dopamine in rat striatal homogenates exhibited a dissociation rate, k off
