Multimodality Imaging in Clinical Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine Imaging in Epilepsy

The majority of the treatments for epilepsy are anticonvulsant drugs. These medications include carbamazepine, diazepam, ethosucimide, gabapentin, levetiracetam, phenobartital, phenytoin, etc. Early identification of epilepsy non-responders allows prompt switching to an alternative therapy, as well as saving significant time and money and increasing patient and physician satisfaction.

Nuclear Medicine Imaging in Cancer

Nuclear 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...

Nuclear cardiology: role in the world of multimodality cardiac imaging.

The concept of multimodality imaging has been developing rapidly in recent years due to the need to integrate information on anatomy (which defines coronary artery disease) with functional data (which reflects the effects of this disease on tissues) to enable the proper evaluation of patients with ischemic heart disease. From the clinical point of view, it has been well established that a compl...

Radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging: a bibliometric study in Iran

Introduction: Nowadays, science mapping is considered an excellent technique for decision-makers to find solutions for problems in research planning and development. In this work, we aimed to depict a science map of “radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging” in Iran. Methods: All publications indexed in Thomson Reuters Web of Science database in the fields mentioned above with at least...
