چکیده
Acousto-optic imaging promises to provide in vivo images of optical contrast but with the superior spatial reso-lution of ultrasound imaging. Here we present novel quadrature detection of ultrasound-modulated photons with a gain-modulated, image-intensified, CCD camera. The additional detection of ultrasound-modulated fluorescence photons dem-onstrates potential for in vivo acousto-optic molecular imaging.

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...

متن کاملSynthesis and Application of New Gadolinium-Porphyrins as Potential MR Imaging Contrast Agents for Cancer Detection in Nude Mice
Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM 138) xenografts. These agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. The reduction of T1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...
