Diagnostic Imaging of Non-shunt Liver Disease

Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in characterization of focal and diffuse hepatic diseases. Radiography and ultrasound (US) serve as first-line diagnostic imaging modalities of choice for the detection and characterization of hepatic diseases, however the majority of findings using these imaging tests are often non-specific. The identification of focal mass lesions in the liver using ...

Towards Non-Invasive Diagnostic Imaging of Early-Stage Alzheimer’s Disease

One way to image the molecular pathology in Alzheimer's disease is by positron emission tomography using probes that target amyloid fibrils. However, these fibrils are not closely linked to the development of the disease. It is now thought that early-stage biomarkers that instigate memory loss are composed of Aβ oligomers. Here, we report a sensitive molecular magnetic resonance imaging contras...

Moyamoya disease: Diagnostic imaging

Moyamoya disease is a progressive vasculopathy leading to stenosis of the main intracranial arteries. The incidence of moyamoya disease is high in Asian countries; in Europe and North America, the prevalence of the disease is considerably lower. Clinically, the disease may be of ischaemic, haemorrhagic and epileptic type. Cognitive dysfunction and behavioral disturbance are atypical symptoms of...
