Article Abstract
Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is an uncommon and rare neurologic disorder characterised by extranodal lymphoma, where the tumour cells invade the cranial nerves, nerve plexus, nerve root, spinal nerve roots, trunk nerves or peripheral nerves. MRI is the modality of choice, but is often challenging in detection of early recurrence, assessing residual disease and response evaluation. 18FFDG PET/CT has superior diagnostic performance compared with body CT in the evaluation of NL. 18F-FDG PET-CT is helpful in evaluation of disease extent and potential to guide biopsy. 18F-FDG PETCT is a highly sensitive technique for early localisation of NL than MRI or CT alone. Besides diagnostic and prognostic value in NL, it might be very helpful in response assessment.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Accurate evaluation of treatment response is essential for effective management. This case report discusses the potential role of ⁶⁸Ga-Pentixafor positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in comparison to F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT for assessing treatment response in a patient with DLBCL.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with multiple organ involvement. Being a rare disease with variable clinical manifestations, it is often difficult to diagnose. F-2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) plays a vital role in assessing disease extent and severity, diagnosis, treatment response and is a potential biomarker for BRAF mutation.

Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine, Erasmus MC - University Medical Centre Rotterdam, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Aims: This review summarizes the role and future prospects of nuclear medicine in ovarian cancer, focusing on novel radiopharmaceuticals beyond FDG for diagnostic, predictive, and therapeutic applications within a theranostic framework.
Materials And Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using major databases. Peer-reviewed articles addressing non-FDG radiopharmaceuticals in ovarian cancer were identified and assessed; FDG-based studies were excluded due to the availability of prior comprehensive reviews.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent neoplasms worldwide, with molecular subtypes that influence prognosis and therapeutic strategies. PET/CT with different radiopharmaceuticals has revolutionized diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring. [F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose remains the most widely used radiotracer, but it has limitations in certain subtypes, such as invasive lobular carcinoma, where 16α-[F] fluoro-17β-estradiol and [Ga]-FAPI (fibroblast activation protein inhibitors) have demonstrated greater utility.

Purpose: The liver-brain axis regulates metabolic homeostasis, with glucose metabolism playing a key role. Liver dysfunction, such as fibrosis, may impact brain metabolism and consequently, brain function. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging provides a non-invasive approach to study glucose metabolism in both organs.
