Possibilities and limitations of intravital imaging

Recently, Raymond Reif and colleagues from the Leibniz Research Center in Dort-mund have published a technical article about two-photon based intravital imaging (Reif et al., 2016). The strength of this article is the outstanding quality of the presented videos, which show organs of living mice, namely liver, kidney and intestine, with a resolution of approximately 200 nm. Key features of the e...

Infrared imaging of the crime scene: possibilities and pitfalls.

All objects radiate infrared energy invisible to the human eye, which can be imaged by infrared cameras, visualizing differences in temperature and/or emissivity of objects. Infrared imaging is an emerging technique for forensic investigators. The rapid, nondestructive, and noncontact features of infrared imaging indicate its suitability for many forensic applications, ranging from the estimati...

Targeted Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Possibilities and Limitations

Introduction: Active targeting of contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaiinghas been &died by several investigators over the last years (1,2). The methods used include targeting via antibodies and receptors. Most of these studies have however been performed at non-clinical high field-strengths using highresolution imaging in anesthetised animals. The ability to detect the contrast enhancing...

Possibilities and limits of imaging endodontic structures with CBCT.

An adequate portrayal of the root canal anatomy by diagnostic imaging is a prerequisite for a successful diagnosis and therapy in endodontics. The introduction of dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has considerably expanded the scope of imaging diagnostics. The aim of the following study was to evaluate the imaging of endodontic structures with CBCT. One hundred and twenty teeth were e...
