Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) was performed to evaluate three lesions in two patients using a combined PET-CT scanner (Discovery ST, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA). All patients fasted for at least 6 hours before undergoing PET-CT. Serum glucose levels were checked to ensure that the level was <140 mg/dL. Sixty minutes after the intravenous injection of 370 MBq of 18F-2-deoxy-D-glucose, whole-body PET-CT was performed. The computed tomography (CT) images were acquired from the skull base to the upper thigh. Immediately after CT acquisition, positron emission tomography (PET) images were obtained with the patient in the same position.

Transcranial Doppler and Carotid Ultrasound for Assessing Intracranial and Extracranial Artery Stenosis
Every participant also underwent a bilateral carotid duplex ultrasound (Philips iU‐22 ultrasound system, Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA, USA) to assess extracranial arterial stenosis (ECAS). Bilateral ECAS arteries included common carotid arteries, carotid bifurcation, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. All participants were examined in the supine position with the head turned to the contralateral side. Both sides of the carotid arteries were evaluated for the presence of ECAS (≥50%), which was graded based on recommendations from the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound Consensus Conference.
Elasticity Phantom Characterization via Ultrasound
The ultrasound RF signals of the phantoms were recorded at a sampling frequency of 32 MHz and a frame rate of 91 Hz using a Philips iU22 ultrasound system (Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA, USA), equipped with an L9-3 linear array transducer. Each image consists of 320 lines, with a distance of 0.12 mm between adjacent lines. The RF data were acquired from the pre- and post-deformed phantom with freehand scan, as shown in Figure

Three-Dimensional Ultrasound Assessment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
First, a US dual plane diameter was measured on the transverse display from the leading edge of the adventitia anterior wall to the leading edge of the adventitia posterior wall in peak systole. To obtain a correct antero-posterior image plane on the transverse display, it was checked that the AAA was horizontal on the longitudinal display (Fig. 1). Anatomic references to the lumbar vertebrae were not used. 2 Next, the 3D-US acquisition was performed during breath hold (<2 seconds) while the transducer was kept in a firm stable position above the cross section showing the maximum diameter. The 3D-US acquisitions were then transferred to a workstation and later handled in the experimental semi-automatic 3D software (Fig. 1).
Echocardiographic Evaluation of Cardiac Parameters
Ultrasound Evaluation of Spinal Cord
The echogenicity of FT was compared to adjacent roots of the cauda equina. FT was considered thick when it measured more than 2 mm on transverse and longitudinal US and was considered fibrous or lipomatous nature. We considered it as “prominent FT” when the thickness of the echogenic FT was less than 2 mm. If the tip of the CM was below the L2–3 disc space, this was considered low-lying spinal cord. We defined the isolated low CM as the tip of CM is seen at L2–3 disc space or the L3 vertebral body level without evidence of tethering.9) The findings of additional imaging including follow-up US or MRI were also recorded.

Multimodal Imaging of Craniomandibular Structures
MRI was performed using T1 coronal and sagittal images in both open- and closed-mouth positions as well as gradient kinetic dynamic sagittal images (GE Signa HDxt 1.5T, Milwaukee, USA) with the following parameters: coronal T1-weighted images with repetition time (TR) = 405 ms and echo time (TE) = 10 ms, sagittal proton-density-weighted images with TR = 2025 ms and TE = 30 ms, and sagittal T2∗-weighted kinematic dynamic images with TR = 100 ms and TE = 10 ms. The total acquisition time was approximately 30 minutes per patient.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
