Local models and local convergence for maximum likelihood iterative reconstruction KU Leuven
Iterative methods are being increasingly used for
reconstruction of tomographic data as in computed tomography (CT) and positron
emission tomography (PET). These methods often yield better reconstructions
compared to analytical methods. An important reason for this is that iterative
reconstruction has a more flexible data acquisition model which allows for a
more accurate simulation ...
Evaluation of molecular, dosimetric and ultrastructural imaging in the management of neuroendocrine tumors with Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy: results of a prospective, monocentric, non-controlled phase II study KU Leuven
SUMMARY
Neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous group of tumors that derive from endocrine cells, spread throughout the whole body. NETs were once thought to be relatively rare, however, their incidence and prevalence have increased substantially over the past 30 years. The grown incidence is most likely due to the increased use of endoscopy and improved diagnosis with current estimates of annual incidence of 5/100 000. As ...
