conclusion vr reconstruction for both single-direction images and sushi using dti25 raw data provides excellent 3d displays of the peripheral nerves in the wrist region. sushi post-processing is a useful denoising tool because it automatically reduces the majority of isotropic object noise. results single-direction vr reconstruction clearly showed the nerves for both dti6 and dti25 but with obv...

objective(s): the study objective was to assess the diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography (pet) for gliomas using the novel tracer 18f-fluciclovine (anti-[18f]facbc) and to evaluate the safety of this tracer in patients with clinically suspected gliomas.methods: anti-[18f]facbc was administered to 40 patients with clinically suspected high- or low-grade gliomas, followed by pet...

undescended ovary is a rare entity and usually presentedas a case report. it is associated with urinary and uterine anomalies. symptomatic patients are diagnosed during surgery. most of the patients are asymptomatic and treatment is unnecessary. they are incidentally diagnosed during infertility evaluation and treatment such as ovarian hyperstimulation studies. a 15-year-old female patient pres...

Since the discovery of X-rays, the use of imaging technology has continued to play an important role in medicine. Technological advancements have led to the development of various imaging modalities, most of which have been used to image organs deep within the human body. More recently, attention has focused on the application of imaging technology for evaluation of the skin. A variety of techn...

background : safe dose escalation is highly desirable in radiotherapy for prostate cancer. prostate displacement due to bladder filling can be significant, so improved targeting of the prostate by ultrasound imaging potentially allows for a reduction in the target margin and consequently less toxicity. this study estimates the accuracy of ultrasound for prostate and bladder volume measurements ...

introduction: although pet scanning using f-18[fdg] is considered the superior radiotracer for tumnor imaging, gallium-67 is still in use for some malignancies such as lymphoma and hepatoma. one of the strategies to improve the diagnostic accuracy of gallium is to perform spect which is reported to be more sensitive compared to planar imaging. in this study we compared the sensitivity of spect ...

Herein we report the possibility of using green and red emitting silica-coated cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) for remarkable stem and cancer cellular imaging, efficient cellular uptake and fluorescence imaging of semi and ultra-thin sections of tumor for in vivo tumor targeted imaging applications. The comparative studies of high contrast cellular imaging behaviours of the silica-co...

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the choice of investigation for evaluation of extent of tumor under the mucosa, locally and regionally. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of preoperative CT imaging in the staging of carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.   Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all cases who were clinically (c) staged T3–T4 and w...
