Summary
Palladium-103 (Pd-103) plaque radiation effectively treated two cases of retinal angioma, leading to tumor regression and vision preservation. This novel approach offers a promising alternative for managing these rare vascular tumors.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Radiation Oncology
- Medical Physics
Background:
- Plaque radiation is an established treatment for ocular tumors.
- Retinal angiomas are rare vascular tumors that can impair vision.
- Previous treatments like laser photocoagulation were unsuccessful in these cases.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
385
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...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care
221
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
