Breast imaging devices for nuclear medicine.
Breast cancer has long been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Mammography is the first-line imaging examination used to detect breast cancer; it has high sensitivity but only moderate specificity. The currently used secondary imaging modalities, sonography and MRI, cannot weed out all the false-positive lesions that mammography identifies as potentially malignant. Further, many pa...
متن کاملNuclear Medicine in the Imaging and Management of Breast Cancer
Axillary nodal status is the most important prognostic factor for patients with breast cancer. Clinical assessment and imaging modalities are not always reliable. Surgical removal and histopathological examination of axillary lymph nodes remain essential methods of staging the axilla and planning breast cancer therapy (Chu et al, 2010; Perry, 2001) But whether axillary lymph node dissection imp...
متن کاملNuclear Medicine Imaging Instrumentation
Nuclear medicine is a diagnostic imaging modality that is used to obtain clinical information about most of the major tissues and organs of the body. Diagnostic information is obtained from the way the tissues and organs process radiolabeled compounds (radiopharmaceuticals). The radiopharmaceutical is typically administered to the patient though an intravenous injection. The radiopharmaceutical...
متن کاملWavelet Domain Filtering for Nuclear Medicine Imaging
We propose a new filtering/estimation method for nuclear medicine imaging. The statistical method of crossvalidation is used to design optimal wavelet domain filters for improved image estimation. The quality of the resulting images is much better than standard image estimates, in both visual and mean square error senses. Moreover, experiments have shown that, using the new estimate, we can red...
متن کاملMolecular imaging training for nuclear medicine residents.
Nuclear medicine is rapidly evolving. Major factors affecting the field are the advent of hybrid imaging, an increasing emphasis on evidence-based medicine, and a growing recognition of the potential of personalized medicine. Molecular imaging, which is a fundamental part of nuclear medicine, has an enormous potential to be a central part of the shift toward personalized medicine. Several new a...
