Multimodality Imaging

Noninvasive “multimodal” in vivo imaging is not just becoming standard practice in the clinic, but is rapidly changing the evolving field of experimental imaging of genetic expression (“molecular imaging”). The development of multimodality methodology based on nuclear medicine (NM), positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging is the single b...

Multiple coronary fistulae: characterization by multimodality imaging.

A 63-year-old man was admitted for non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Echocardiography showed preserved biventricular systolic function with apical hypokinesia. Apical 4-chamber color Doppler view revealed abnormal diastolic flow, apparently intramyocardial (Figure 1A and Video 1). Coronary angiography revealed moderate (60%) coronary stenosis in the mid right coronary artery (Figure 1B), ...

Multimodality Imaging of Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis is an important biological process that is also related to various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Currently, the need for angiogenesis imaging is increasing due to the use of anti-angiogenic therapy to treat tumors, and of angiogenesis-inducing therapy to treat vascular diseases. Several techniques can be used to visualize angiogenesis related...
