Strain rate measurement by doppler echocardiography allows improvedassessment of myocardial viability inpatients with depressed left ventricular function
Rainer Hoffmann,Ertunc Altiok,Nicole Heussen,Peter Hanrath,B. Nowak,H.-J. Kaiser,Udalrich Büll,Harald P. Kühl +7 more
TL;DR: The increase in the peak systolic strain rate during low-dose dobutamine stimulation allows accurate discrimination between different myocardial viability states and strain rate imaging is superior to two-dimensional DSE and tissue Doppler imaging for the assessment of myocardia viability.

Diagnosis and Staging of Head and Neck Cancer: A Comparison of Modern Imaging Modalities (Positron Emission Tomography, Computed Tomography, Color-Coded Duplex Sonography) With Panendoscopic and Histopathologic Findings
Ercole Di Martino,B. Nowak,Hassan A. Hassan,Ralf Hausmann,Gerhard Adam,Udalrich Buell,Martin Westhofen +6 more
TL;DR: Positron emission tomography was the most reliable imaging procedure in the detection of primary tumor and recurrent carcinomas localized in the head and neck region and can provide key information in cases of superficial mucosal tumor involvement.

2-[Fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose Positron Emission Tomography in the Diagnosis of Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Michael Zimny,W. Siggelkow,Willibald Schröder,B. Nowak,Susanne Biemann,Werner Rath,Udalrich Buell +6 more
TL;DR: FDG PET provides the chance to detect recurrent ovarian cancer at an earlier stage during follow-up as well as preceded the conventional diagnosis by a median of 6 months in patients judged clinically free of disease.

Diagnostic evaluation of malignant head and neck cancer by F-18-FDG PET compared to CT/MRI.
B. Nowak,E. Di Martino,S. Jänicke,U. Cremerius,Gerhard Adam,Michael Zimny,Patrick Reinartz,U. Büll +7 more
TL;DR: F-18-FDG PET is significantly more accurate than CT/MRI for Detection of head and neck cancer and both methods are valuable for detection of cervical lymph node metastases.

Benign versus malignant osseous lesions in the lumbar vertebrae: differentiation by means of bone SPET
Patrick Reinartz,Joachim Schaffeldt,Osama Sabri,Michael Zimny,B. Nowak,E. Ostwald,U. Cremerius,Udalrich Buell +7 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that lesions affecting the pedicle are a strong indicator for malignancy, whereas involvement of the facet joints is usually related to benign disease.
