Toward contrast-enhanced microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging of breast cancer: an experimental study of the effects of microbubbles on simple thermoacoustic targets.
Microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (MI-TAT) is an imaging technique that exploits dielectric contrast at microwave frequencies while creating images with ultrasound resolution. We propose the use of microbubbles as a dielectric contrast agent for enhancing the sensitivity of MI-TAT for breast cancer detection. As an initial investigation of this concept, we experimentally studied the e...
متن کاملGadolinium-DTPA: A New Contrast Agent
Gadolinium (Gd)-DTPA-dimeglumine (tradename: Magnevist?) is the first commercially available contrast agent for magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). As a result of the very favourable results from preclinical and clinical investigations Magnevist? was granted a product license for cranial and spinal MRT in the Federal Republic of Germany in early February this year. Magnevist? is a paramagnetic...
متن کاملMicrowave-induced thermoacoustic scanning CT for high-contrast and noninvasive breast cancer imaging.
A fast thermoacoustic computed tomography system with a multielement linear transducer array was developed to image biological tissues with circular scanning. The spatial resolution of the imaging system and the spectra of the thermoacoustic signals were analyzed. A modified integration backprojection algorithm using velocity potential was employed to recover the direct energy deposition distri...
متن کاملGd-DTPA as a contrast agent in CT.
An evaluation was done of the effect of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) on computed tomographic (CT) studies performed after magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. CT scans of two solutions of Gd-DTPA demonstrated substantial attenuation. In two patients who underwent CT after Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging, the high attenuation of concentrated Gd-DTPA was seen in the urinary bladde...
متن کاملGadolinium-Diethylenetriaminepenta-Acetic acid Conjugated with Monoclonal Antibody C595 as New Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agents for Breast Cancer (MCF-7) Detection
Background: The monoclonal antibody, C595, against breast cancer cell line was conjugated with cyclic anhydride gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (Gd-cDTPAa) to produce Gd-DTPA-C595 and used as specific breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: After incubation of breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), with different contrast agents (G...
