I-41: Imaging Strategy for Diagnosis of Adnexal Masses Including US,CT Scan and MRI

Adnexal masses are spectrum of diseases from benign non neoplastic and neoplastic masses to malignant neoplasms. Endovaginal ultrasonography (US) is the fisrt and invaluable modality for assessment of adnexal masses because it is available and has a high negative predictive value. Important morphologic features are solid (vascularized) tissue, vascular and thick septations, and papillary projec...

I-55: Molecular Imaging Overview

Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...

Multifunctional GQDs-Coated Fe/Bi Nanohybrids for CT/MR Dual Imaging and in vitro Photothermal Therapy

Introduction: The multipurpose nanocomposites have gained growing biomedical attention as promising nanotheranostics to improve The effectiveness of cancer treatment, which concurrently combine advantages of the therapeutic and diagnostic techniques into one nanosystem. The “all-in on” probes not only help to ablate cancerous tumors, but also allow to optimize and monitoring of...

Advances in Cardiovascular Imaging Multimodality Cardiovascular Molecular Imaging, Part I

There has been a shift in emphasis from treatment of disease to the primary or secondary prevention of disease, primarily to advance human health through preservation of quality of life and improvement in survival, but also in part to control the escalating costs of health care. The prevention of disease necessitates early detection and risk stratification before the manifestation of disease, w...
