Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in the prediction of the existence of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis
Introduction/Aim. Anatomically insignificant stenosis of coronary arteries obtained on coronary angiography, in numerous cases can show hemodynamic significance and as such cause ischemic myocardial changes. The goal was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (SPECT MPI) in the detection of hemodinamically significan...

Theranostics and precision medicine In neuroendocrine tumors
Introduction. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have increased expression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR), where subtype 2 and 5 are the most common. Overexpression of the SSTR is an outstanding molecular target for inoperable and metastatic NETs that enables a unique approach of targeted diagnosis and treatment. In addition to SSTRs, neuroendocrine tu...
