Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

6.1K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Transducer Mechanism: Nuclear Receptors01:31

Transducer Mechanism: Nuclear Receptors

1.9K
Nuclear receptors, or NRs, are unique transcription factors that regulate gene transcription and affect the cellular pathways involved in reproduction, development, or metabolism. Their ability to be stimulated by small lipophilic ligands and control vital cellular processes makes them ideal drug targets. Nearly 10-15% of currently prescribed drugs target these receptors.
About 48 different soluble family members of nuclear receptors are identified that can be divided into two main classes:

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

190
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): Overview01:07

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): Overview

4.9K
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a phenomenon exhibited by certain nuclei that can absorb characteristic radio frequency radiation under certain conditions. NMR has been extensively applied in molecular spectroscopy and medical diagnostic imaging. In both these applications, the molecule or subject under study is placed in a magnetic field and irradiated with radio frequency energy.
NMR spectroscopy generates a spectrum where the characteristic absorption frequencies of the sample are...

Other Nuclides: 31P, 19F, 15N NMR

Many organic, inorganic, and biological molecules contain spin-half nuclei such as nitrogen-15, fluorine-19, and phosphorus-31. As a result, NMR studies of these nuclei have found extensive applications in chemical and biological research.
While fluorine-19 and phosphorous-31 have high natural abundances (100%) and positive gyromagnetic ratios, nitrogen-15 has a low natural abundance and a negative gyromagnetic ratio. However, nitrogen-15 is still preferred over nitrogen-14 (which has a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • Limited understanding exists regarding the social media presence of nuclear medicine (NM) and nuclear radiology (NR) academic programs.
  • This study addresses the gap in knowledge concerning the utilization of platforms like Twitter by these specialized medical communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the extent of Twitter engagement among academic NM/NR programs in the United States.
  • To identify factors influencing the adoption and utilization of Twitter by these programs.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed Twitter presence of NM/NR programs and program directors across the US.
  • Cross-referenced program tweets with relevant NM/NR hashtags and analyzed engagement levels.
  • Conducted a survey to determine obstacles and benefits of Twitter use among faculty.

Main Results:

  • Only 52% of NM/NR certification programs had Twitter accounts, with 24% posting relevant content.
  • Diagnostic radiology programs showed even lower engagement, with 16% on Twitter and 5% posting NM/NR content.
  • A significant portion of NM/NR program directors were not active on Twitter, and faculty surveys indicated resource limitations and a lack of clear guidance.

Conclusions:

  • Academic NM/NR programs exhibit minimal engagement on Twitter, despite recognizing its potential for trainee recruitment.
  • Identified obstacles, including a lack of resources and clarity, counterbalance the perceived benefits of social media.
  • Encouraging greater Twitter participation and targeted research is recommended to leverage social media's potential for the NM/NR community.
