- Potentials and Challenges of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Transport for the Time-Critical Delivery of Positron Emission Tomography Radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Medicine. [Journal Article]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Oct 15. [Online ahead of print]N
- CONCLUSIONS: Unmanned aerial vehicle-based transport could improve positron emission tomography radiopharmaceutical distribution by reducing decay losses, increasing operational flexibility, and enabling higher patient throughput per production batch. Clinical implementation remains limited by regulatory, technical, and environmental challenges. Experimental validation and real-world studies are needed to confirm feasibility.

- CONCLUSIONS: The use of DIN 6861-1:2021-11 is associated with improved prediction of the thyroid dose compared with the Marinelli equation and may contribute to more precise individualized planning of radioiodine therapy in patients with benign thyroid diseases.

- CONCLUSIONS: Modeled 180-degree reconstructions of quantitative SPECT/CT are qualitatively inferior to quantitative reconstructions of 360-degree acquisitions, although there was no difference in the diagnostic accuracy between the reconstruction methods. These results suggest that 180-degree acquisitions are adequate for diagnosis.

- German Society of Nuclear Medicine procedure guideline for dopamine transporter SPECT using [123I]ioflupane (02/2026). [Journal Article]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Jul 28. [Online ahead of print]N
- This procedure guideline for SPECT examinations of striatal dopamine transporter availability is intended to support the planning, execution, quality control, interpretation and reporting of cerebral SPECT scans with [[123]I]ioflupane. It is an update and expansion built on the 2019 version of the procedure guideline. It was developed through an informal process as a consensus of the Neuroimaging…

- Detection of Brain Metastasis in Occult Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Using ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT: A Case Report. [Case Reports]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Oct; 65(5):321-322.N
- Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a neuroendocrine tumor that may express somatostatin receptors, enabling imaging with ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. Brain metastases from MTC are extremely rare, particularly in the absence of an identifiable primary tumor. We present a 63-year-old male with occult MTC and elevated serum calcitonin levels (27 pg/mL). ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT demonstrated focal tracer upta…

- FDG-PET/CT in children with malignant diseases - comparison of a long axial field of view scanner with a standard scanner. [Journal Article]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Oct; 65(5):312-320.N
- CONCLUSIONS: LAFOV PET/CT supports [[18]F]FDG dose reduction without impairing image quality for lesion detection. 1 MBq/kg yielded diagnostic quality comparable to SAFOV, while 2-3 MBq/kg provided superior performance. These results support LAFOV PET/CT as a strategy to minimize radiation exposure in children.

- Frequency and new-onset rates of nausea and fatigue in [177]Lu-PSMA therapy with standardized premedication. [Multicenter Study]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Oct; 65(5):303-311.N
- CONCLUSIONS: Absolute rates of nausea and fatigue were comparable to the VISION trial. However, new-onset rates of these two side effects were substantially lower after accounting for baseline symptoms. A protective effect of premedication with glucocorticoids and antiemetics could be the reason for this, but requires confirmation in prospective controlled studies.

- On the utility of ChatGPT in conducting a literature review on deep learning for dopamine transporter SPECT with [[123]I]ioflupane. [Review]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Aug; 65(4):255-264.N
- CONCLUSIONS: ChatGPT is a highly effective tool for drafting review manuscripts in nuclear medicine imaging, but its limitations in literature retrieval and referencing require careful expert supervision.

- A translational journey in Germany: From literature to local implementation of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-trastuzumab. [Review]Nuklearmedizin. 2026 Aug; 65(4):265-270.N
- CONCLUSIONS: This work presents a practical overview of operational considerations relevant to the clinical implementation of [[89]Zr]Zr-DFO-trastuzumab, with potential applicability to other [89]Zr-labelled high-molecular-weight radiotracers in Germany. By sharing these practical insights, we aim to support broader patient access to established radiopharmaceuticals and encourage dialogue around open regulatory and practical questions, particularly in anticipation of future clinical trials.
