Review of mechanisms and recent advances in cancer photo thermal therapy

Abstract. Cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Photo thermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive method in cancer treatment. In PTT, the laser light usually in near-infra red region is absorbed and converted to heat in the cancerous tissue. The temperature above 40 ° C in PTT can induce some effects including irreversible damage to proteins, changes in enzyme struc...

Recent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent

Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

Brain metabolites Associated with Common Clinical Symptoms of multiple sclerosis patients Using MagneticResonance Imaging

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease that involves central nervous system (CNS). Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical non- invasive method for obtaining the pathologic data of disease and it brings biochemical information about studied tissue which can be helped in studying the reasons and development process of disease and it increa...
