Article Abstract
Colonic adenomas are considered a precursor of colorectal cancer. A 75-year-old woman had a history of post-operation left breast cancer. She received an excision when the left chest wall recurred. A later FDG PET/CT scan revealed a focal intense FDG accumulation in the sigmoid, a focal mild FDG uptake in the pericolic lymph node, and a focal increased FDG accumulation in the transverse colon. A delayed FDG PET/CT scan after the per-rectal administration of the laxative-augmented contrast medium revealed a filling defect with persistent FDG uptake in the sigmoid and transverse colon and mild FDG uptake in the pericolic lymph node. In addition, more lesions were observed in the rectum and descending colon. The pathology reports showed sigmoid adenocarcinoma with lymph node metastasis, and adenomas in the transverse colon, descending colon, and rectum.

Aims: Obesity is associated with increased insulin-stimulated brain glucose uptake (BGU) which is opposite to decreased GU observed in peripheral tissues. Increased BGU was shown to be reversed by weight loss and exercise training, but the mechanisms remain unknown. We investigated whether neuroinflammation (TSPO availability) and brain activity drive the obesity-associated increase in BGU and whether this increase is reversed by exercise training.

The diagnosis of adrenocortical tumors remains clinically challenging due to overlapping morphological and functional features between benign, malignant, and hormonally active lesions. Malignant and functional tumors are frequently associated with poor prognosis. Traditional morphological imaging methods, such as CT and MRI, cannot reliably distinguish lesion types.

Tissue factor (TF) has emerged as a promising target for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is limited data available on TF-related PET imaging for longitudinal monitoring of the pathophysiological changes during HCC formation. Herein, we aimed to explore the TF-expression feature and compare a novel TF-targeted PET probe with F-FDG through longitudinal imaging in diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced rat HCC.

Objective: CXCR4 and integrin αβ play important roles in tumor biology and are highly expressed in multiple types of tumors. This study aimed to synthesize, preclinically evaluate, and clinically validate a novel dual-targeted PET imaging probe Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) for its potential in imaging tumors.
Methods: The effects of Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) on cell viability, targeting specificity, and affinity were assessed in the U87MG cells.

Myocardial fibrosis, a key pathological feature of hypertensive heart disease (HHD), remains diagnostically challenging due to limited clinical tools. In this study, a FAPI-targeted uptake mechanism previously reported by our group, originally developed for tumor imaging, is extended to the detection of myocardial fibrosis in HHD using [F]F-NOTA-FAPI-MB. The diagnostic performance of this tracer is compared with those of [F]F-FDG, [F]F-FAPI-42, and [F]F-NOTA-FAP2286, and its potential for fluorescence imaging is also evaluated.
