• Correlations between 68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC Uptake and Absorbed Dose from [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE 

      Bruvoll, Ragnar Bjørn Watte; Blakkisrud, Johan; Mikalsen, Lars Tore Gyland; Connelly, James Pattrick; Stokke, Caroline (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Purpose: The aim of this paper was to investigate correlations between pre- therapeutic [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC uptake and absorbed dose to tumours from therapy with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA- TATE. Methods: This retrospective study included ...
    • Imaging the tumour microenvironment in rectal cancer: Decline in tumour blood flow during radiotherapy predicts good outcome 

      Bakke, Kine Mari; Meltzer, Sebastian; Grøvik, Endre; Negård, Anne; Holmedal, Stein Harald; Mikalsen, Lars Tore Gyland; Færden, Arne Engebreth; Lyckander, Lars Gustav; Julbø, Frida Marie Ihle; Bjørnerud, Atle; Gjesdal, Kjell Inge; Ree, Anne Hansen; Redalen, Kathrine Røe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background and purpose Measuring rectal tumour response to radiation is pivotal to restaging patients and for possibly stratification to a watch-and-wait strategy. Recognizing the importance of the tumour microenvironment, ...
    • Optimization of Q.Clear reconstruction for dynamic 18F PET imaging 

      Lysvik, Elisabeth Kirkeby; Mikalsen, Lars Tore Gyland; Rootwelt-Revheim, Mona Elisabeth; Emblem, Kyrre Eeg; Hjørnevik, Trine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background: Q.Clear, a Bayesian penalized likelihood reconstruction algorithm, has shown high potential in improving quantitation accuracy in PET systems. The Q.Clear algorithm controls noise during the iterative reconstruction ...
    • Optimized SPECT Imaging of 224Ra α-Particle Therapy by 212Pb Photon Emissions 

      Mikalsen, Lars Tore Gyland; Kvassheim, Monika; Stokke, Caroline (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In preparation for an a-particle therapy trial using 1–7 MBq of 224Ra, the feasibility of tomographic SPECT/CT imaging was of interest. The nuclide decays in 6 steps to stable 208Pb, with 212Pb as the principle photon-emitting ...
