Manifestation of the COVID-19 disease in acute, subacute, and chronic phases causes polymorphic picture both in computed tomography and in positron emission tomography with the application of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose, the knowledge of its manifestation support to the differential diagnostics the other diseases including to coexistence of independent diseases.

68Ga-PSMA-11 is safe and valuable radiopharmaceutical in staging, restaging and assessment of the therapy response in patients with prostatic carcinoma. When the availability of PET/CT and PET/MRI is the equal, PET/MRI is preferred in staging of the disease, in opposite side, PET/CT in the assessment of the effect of therapy or restaging.

Ces radiol. 2021, 75(1):77-83 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2021/010  

The objective of our work was to determine the difference in radiation exposure received by patient by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) on sacroiliac joints (SIJ) with and without tin filtration. The effective dose with tin filtration is reduced by approximately 80% and all examinations had good diagnostic quality to detect bone changes in SIJ. It can be presumed that LDCT with such a low dose will play a more significant role in the diagnostic algorithm of axial spondyloarthritis, because CT has not been used a lot in this indication due its high radiation dose.
