The effects of reducing sedentary behaviour on whole-body and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-05-13)
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate whether, over a 6-month period, a 1-hour reduction in daily sedentary behaviour (SB) without adding intentional exercise training would improve insulin sensitivity in adults ...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen as a target for prostate cancer PET imaging
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-03-24)
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa) cells. In the last decade, PSMA-targeting positron emission tomography (PET) has gained increasing acceptance for ...
Molecular imaging and immunotherapy in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-11-28)
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a disorder that affects both heart and blood vessels. It is caused by atherosclerosis, a chronic, low-grade inflammatory disease, which is characterized by the accumulation ...
Lifestyle factors, liver insulin sensitivity, liver fat, and liver enzymes in adults with metabolic syndrome
(Turun yliopisto, 2025-05-30)
This PhD work aims to address the rising rates of physical inactivity and obesity-related liver diseases by exploring the relationships between sedentary behavior, physical activity, dietary intake, fitness, liver insulin ...
Stability of the femoral stem in cementless total hip arthroplasty and PET/CT imaging of adverse reaction to metal debris

Combined use of PET perfusion imaging and coronary computed tomography angiography in evaluation of stable coronary artery disease
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-05-25)
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) enables non-invasive detection of coronary atherosclerotic plaques. In turn, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using positron emission tomography (PET) allows non-invasive ...
Exercise training-induced effects on brown and white adipose tissue metabolism in humans : positron emission tomography studies in health and insulin resistance
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-05-31)
White adipose tissue (WAT) not only serves as a passive energy storage but also has an endocrine role releasing hormones that play a major role in the regulation of whole-body glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. ...
Emerging radiopharmaceuticals for PET-imaging gliomas. A multi-: radiopharmaceutical, camera, modality, model, and modelling assessment
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-08-29)
Gliomas, which are a type of brain tumour derived from the non-neuronal and nutrient-supplying glial cells of the brain, are particularly devastating disease due to the importance and delicate nature of cerebral matter. ...
Radiometabolite and Plasma Protein Binding Analysis in Translational Positron Emission Tomography Imaging with [¹¹C]SMW139
(Turun yliopisto, 2025-06-18)
ABSTRACT
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a highly sensitive, non-invasive, imaging technique used for quantification of biological targets. The accuracy of quantification is influenced by the tracer metabolism and ...
Automatic detection of head and neck cancer from PET/MRI imaging using deep learning
(Turun yliopisto, 2026-02-06)
Detecting head and neck cancer (HNC) from medical images is a challenging problem due to the complex anatomy of the region and the heterogeneity of the disease. Traditional imaging techniques struggle to differentiate ...
