2. Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium_(99mTc)_sestamibi

   Single photon emission computed tomography imaging of the heart is performed using a gamma camera to detect the gamma rays emitted by the technetium-99m as it decays. Two sets of images are acquired. For one set, 99m Tc MIBI is injected while the patient is at rest and then the myocardium is imaged. In the second set, the patient is stressed ...

3. MRNA-based disease diagnosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA-based_disease_diagnosis

   The mRNA-based disease diagnosis technologies have been applied to medical field widely in recent years, especially on early diagnosis of tumors (such as renal cell carcinoma, [2] hepatocellular carcinoma, [3] [4] breast cancer [5] and prostate cancer [6]). The technology can be applied to various types of samples depending on how easily the ...

   Eating burnt food – which contains acrylamide – does not increase the risk of getting cancer. [263] Cancer cannot be treated by reducing sugar and carbohydrate intake to "starve" tumours. [264] It is not just heavy metals which can be toxic; other metals (for example beryllium and lithium) can be toxic too. [265]

5. Molecular diagnostics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diagnostics

   Molecular diagnostics tool can be used for cancer risk assessment. For example, the BRCA1/2 test by Myriad Genetics assesses women for lifetime risk of breast cancer. [22] Also, some cancers are not always employed with clear symptoms. It is useful to analyze people when they do not show obvious symptoms and thus can detect cancer at early stages.

   SPECT image (bone tracer) of a mouse MIP Collimator used to collimate gamma rays (red arrows) in a gamma camera. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT, or less commonly, SPET) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays. [1]

7. PET-CT - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET-CT

   Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (better known as PET-CT or PET/CT) is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed (co-registered) image.

   Work [was] so hard, I was so cold," Barbara explains. She recalls the daily routine she endured in forced labor: "We get up in the morning with empty stomach, and we go to bed with empty stomach ...

9. Canine cancer detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_cancer_detection

   Canine cancer detection is an approach to cancer screening that relies upon the claimed olfactory ability of dogs to detect, in urine or in breath, very low concentrations of the alkanes and aromatic compounds generated by malignant tumors. While some research has been promising, no verified studies by secondary research groups have ...
