Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

4.0K
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...

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

360
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...

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.

Isotopes and Radioisotopes01:28

Isotopes and Radioisotopes

8.3K
In the early 1900s, English chemist Frederick Soddy realized that an element could have atoms with different masses that were chemically indistinguishable. These different types are called isotopes — atoms of the same element that differ in mass. Isotopes differ in mass because they have different numbers of neutrons but are chemically identical because they have the same number of protons. Soddy was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1921 for this discovery.
An isotope containing...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

86
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...

Nuclear Transmutation03:20

Nuclear Transmutation

17.4K
Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one nuclide into another. It can occur by the radioactive decay of a nucleus, or the reaction of a nucleus with another particle. The first manmade nucleus was produced in Ernest Rutherford’s laboratory in 1919 by a transmutation reaction, the bombardment of one type of nuclei with other nuclei or with neutrons. Rutherford bombarded nitrogen-14 atoms with high-speed α particles from a natural radioactive isotope of radium and observed...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • The academic environment often creates pressure for scientists to publish frequently.
  • Understanding the extent and sources of this pressure is crucial for researcher well-being and productivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the perceived publication pressure among nuclear medicine scientists.
  • To identify specific factors and researcher characteristics associated with this pressure.

Main Methods:

  • A survey study involving corresponding authors from leading nuclear medicine journals (2021-2023).
  • Utilized the revised Publication Pressure Questionnaire assessing publication stress, attitude, and resources.
  • Data analyzed for associations between researcher characteristics and publication pressure domains.

Main Results:

  • Median scores indicated appreciable publication stress and a neutral publication attitude.
  • No researcher characteristics were linked to publication stress, but older age (>65) correlated with a more positive publication climate.
  • Mid-career scientists (45-64), associate professors, fellows/residents, and those with 5-10 years of research experience reported fewer resources to alleviate publication pressure.

Conclusions:

  • Publication pressure is a notable concern within the nuclear medicine field.
  • Specific demographic and career-stage factors are associated with heightened vulnerability to publication pressure, suggesting targeted support may be beneficial.
