Was it 'Just Another Day' leading up to my recent PET Scan to see if the cancer I had already fought once had returned? I think not as cancer sucks!

High PSA levels lead to more doctors' appointments as scheduling snafus delay further testing. But June is my Birthday Month, and I won't go down without a fight!

#PetScan permet de comparer deux listes. L'outil est souvent utilisé pour des cas simples (généralement faisables dans #MediaWiki), mais il est possible d'utiliser de nombreuses sources : Wikidata, SPARQL, #CirrusSearch...

#ProstateCancer: Doctors excited about forthcoming therapy https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/doctors-excited-about-targeted-prostate-cancer-therapy-but-can-t-prescribe-it-yet-1.6953950 “#RLT works by finding a target, which is usually a receptor on the surface of cancer cells..

#RadioligandTherapy depends on identifying that receptor in each patient's cancer cells using a #PETscan, then delivering the right radioactive medication — like Pluvicto for prostate cancer and Lutathera for neuroendocrine tumours — that will bind to the cancer cells and kill them without harming healthy cells”

Tracking Leukocytes Infiltrating the Brain

Dr Jarred Younger presents a new neuroimaging scan that allows tracking of leukocytes (immune cells) that penetrate the blood-brain barrier and infiltrate the brain. The leukocytes are extracted from the participant's blood, radiolabeled with [89Zr]Oxinate4 and then re-injected.

PET scans can detect the heart of a man
To see who is at increased risk for a plan
Of Parkinson's or Lewy body disease
That may bring about a great deal of unease
So when symptoms arise don't just ignore
Listen to your heart and you'll stay secure

CMS lifts limit on amyloid PET coverage

“The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on October 13 that it has lifted its coverage limit of one beta-amyloid #PETscan per lifetime for patients with #Alzheimer’s disease.”

I was reading an article about full-body MRIs saying they take roughly one hour.

:catthinking:

A brain, cervical spine and spinal column MRI never took less than 1.5 hours for me. They were not even scanning my entire body.

Some possibilities:

* Those full-body MRIs are done with machines that operate much faster than the machines I've been in. I'm not sure why these machines would not be in more common usage.

* The operators doing a full-body scan do a half-assed job because they know that 1 hour is pushing it. (There's a difference between accepting a 1.5 hour scan because your life literally depends on it (my case) versus doing a full-body scan after a pedicure and before horseback riding because reasons (the case of those celebrities that can afford full-body scans).)

* The article is pulling numbers out of thin air.

Maybe a #radiologist has a clue about the discrepancy I'm seeing here.

(Oh, also MRIs are quite capable of missing cancer. I had MRIs galore during my cancer. They saw something but could not identify it. I had a PET scan that missed my tumor. Then I had a brain biopsy that found my tumor, and another PET that confirmed what we already knew.)

@sjsekula This was the lecture (topic selected by my students at the time) that led to the first #book in my series of #physics e-texts for undergraduates who (a) survived introductory physics and (b) forgot why they loved the subject.

“The Friend Physics Guide to Nuclear and Particle Physics in Modern Medicine” only happened because of my awesome students.

Next book should be out in 2024.

Méthodo : #Petscan (petscan.wmflabs.org) pour récupérer la liste des articles depuis les catégories #Wikipedia, puis #MassViews (pageviews.wmcloud.org/massviews) pour récupérer le nombre de vues et import des 9Mo de données dans un tableur.

Vaudrait peut être mieux passer par #Wikidata pour limiter les articles hors sujets (ex. Anne de Bretagne dans les catégories sur les châteaux)
