Following the discovery of a “new kind of rays,” to be named by him as x-radiation, and others as Roentgen’s rays, Dr. Roentgen embarked on an intense investigation in a series of innovative experiments to determine its properties and characteristics and how it compared to other known radiations, specifically light and cathode rays. He demonstrated that the radiation produced fluorescence and e...

Computed tomography (CT) is a well stablished imaging technique that is used worldwide for diagnosis and treatment planning. The purpose of this review is to describe the most notable technological advances in the last decade, with a special focus on their impact in CT dose optimization, that is, achieving the same diagnostic image quality at a reduced radiation dose. The review describes main ...

As ultrasonic waves penetrate deep into tissues ultrasound imaging is able to image invisible things by “seeing through tissues” in real time. With the advent of ultrafast ultrasound imaging, the modality can reach thousands of frames per second, much faster than what the human eye can see. A completely new world is revealed as most important physiological processes in the human body occur in t...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a means of measuring the chemical composition, often referred to as metabolites, of the human body non-invasively and in vivo. It is a research tool mostly used in the investigation of neurological disorders [1]. Since its concentration is reported to be constant most of the time, signal from brain tissue water has been used previously as a reference in ...
