The Tumor Specific Localizing Agents for Radioisotope Image

Radioisotope scanning of brain, liver, lung and bone with a note on tumour localizing agents.

A measure for radioisotope scan image quality.

A perennial difficulty in the field of radioisotope scanning* is the fact that the requirements for resolu tion and number of counts are specified independ ently although everyone knows that both contribute to the ultimate picture quality. This difficulty results from the fact that the image degradation due to blurring and that due to statistics are not directly comparable. Blurring introduces ...

Monomolecular multimodal fluorescence-radioisotope imaging agents.

Diagnosis of diseases by different imaging methods can provide complementary information about the functional status of diseased tissues or organs. To overcome the current difficulties in coregistering images from different imaging modalities with a high degree of accuracy, we prepared near-infrared (NIR) monomolecular multimodal imaging agents (MOMIAs) consisting of a heptamethine carbocyanine...

Plants as useful agents for angiogenesis and tumor growth prevention

Introduction: Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation from pre-existing vessels, has important physiological roles in embryonic development, female reproduction cycle, and wound healing. It is also crucial for pathological processes in several diseases especially tumor growth and metastasis. Thereby, inhibition of angiogenesis as an addition to the conventional therapies such...

Localizing Tampered Image Regions through Image Noise Features

This paper describes a method for locating regions of an image with noise levels that vary significantly from the rest of the image. These regions are highly suspected to be tampered regions, as noise is typically fairly uniform throughout an authentic image. The addition of random noise to a region, however is often used to conceal the tampered region because it can thwart common forgery detec...
