“…PET/CT is a useful imaging test in staging, therapy response assessment, and follow-up of patients with many human solid tumors (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12), including head and neck cancers (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). The objective of this article is to review the evolving role of PET/ CT in staging, therapy response assessment, and follow-up of patients with HPV-positive OPSCC.…”

“…There is always a need for better imaging modalities for diagnosis, staging, treatment designing, evaluating response and envisaging result when we are dealing with diseases of such burden. Among such advanced imaging modalities, FDG PET/CT radiotracer imaging is one of the valued modality (27). FDG-PET/CT gives convincing results in detecting tumor size and shape, occult primary tumors, locoregional nodal spread, and distant metastases (28)(29)(30).…”

Nuclear medicine(NM) imaging has played a vital role in the early diagnosis of disease in the recent decades. Although in the present time's conventional radiographs, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), Computed Tomography (CT), and other alike imaging modalities are being routinely used for diagnosis and treatment purposes in the head and neck region, NM has been in use only for certain oral and maxillofacial pathologies. NM is an impressive and influential imaging means which relies on metabolic and other physiological processes of tissues revealing accurate functional and biochemical aspects of tissues and help in precise diagnosis. Radionuclide imaging involves the use radioactive isotopes that emit gamma (γ) rays. The γ rays thus emitted are detected by a gamma camera and different planar images are formed and shows the location of the radionuclides in the body. The technique provides an early marker of the disease after allowing the measurement of tissue function in vivo. Even though NM is not used on day to day basis in the field of dentistry, the dental professional must acquire the requisite information about its various uses. This review is an attempt at making a dental professional familiar with the functioning of NM imaging in the oral and maxillofacial region.

“…Overexpression of GLUT-1 and hexokinase-Ⅱ has been reported in PC [23] . In patients with PC, several studies have demonstrated that 18 F-FDG PET/CT was an important key factor for in staging, detecting postoperative recurrence, and evaluating the response to treatment [24][25][26][27][28] . The recent typical researches and interest findings were listed in the follow.…”

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a major health problem. Conventional imaging modalities show limited accuracy for reliable assessment of the tumor. Recent researches suggest that molecular imaging techniques with tracers provide more biologically relevant information and are benefit for the diagnosis of the cancer. In addition, radiopharmaceuticals also play more important roles in treatment of the disease. This review summaries the advancement of the radiolabeled compounds in the theranostics of PC.
