Full-field optical coherence microscopy (FF-OCM) and optically sectioned fluorescence microscopy are two imaging techniques that are implemented here in a novel dual modality instrument. The two imaging modalities use a broad field illumination to acquire the entire field of view without raster scanning. Optical sectioning is achie...

Introduction : Multi-modality imaging is becoming a trend in developing new generation in vivo imaging techniques for diagnosis [1]. Recently, our group has developed a high temporal resolution, dynamic MRI-DOT multi-modality imaging system [2]. Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCEMRI) has been proven to be the most sensitive modality in detecting breast lesions [3]. However, it has low specifici...

Lymphoma management begins with an accurate diagnosis & staging. Major advances in imaging techniques, make cross sectional imaging and nuclear medicine technique an excellent tool for patient work up. However, limited access to modern imaging modality in resource limited set up and luck of standardized imaging work up challenged patient's management. Assess the local lymphoma imaging work up a...

Early diagnosis of ovarian torsion is critical in avoiding complications and planning management. Therefore, it is important to understand and assess the imaging findings of ovarian torsion. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice; however, it is not always definitive and diagnosis can be challenging. MRI is a better imaging modality to evaluate for signs of complications and to arrive at ...

Although the development of new imaging modality such as computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have open a new era for medical imaging, high resolution sonography remains as the initial imaging modality of choice for evaluation of scrotal disease. Many of the disease processes, such as testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, and intratesticular tumor, produce the common symptom...

Hybrid imaging techniques provide enhanced visualization of biological targets by synergistically combining multiple imaging modalities, thereby providing information on specific aspects of structure and function, which is difficult to obtain by a single imaging modality. Advances in the field of hybrid imaging have resulted in the recent approval of PET/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging by the U...

The future of diagnostic imaging will rely, in large part, on the digital revolution that is currently affecting all technologydriven disciplines. Superimposed on the digital substrate, however, are a variety of wide-ranging developments that are modality-specific advancements in image receptor technology and modality-specific image data reduction. Diagnostic imaging is classically divided into...

Introduction Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new tomographic imaging modality first presented in 2005 [1]. It directly and quantitatively images the concentration of iron-oxide nano-particle. By means of a broadband data acquisition, MPI also is a very fast imaging modality allowing real-time volumetric imaging [2, 3]. After a motivation for broadband reception, this abstract describes the...

Optical Imaging (OI) for rheumatoid arthritis is a novel imaging modality. With the high number of people affected by this disease, especially in western countries, the availability of OI as an early diagnostic imaging method is clinically highly relevant. In this article we describe the current techniques of OI and discuss potential future applications of this promising technology. Overall, we...

Hybrid scanners such as PET/CT have in the past emerged as a valuable modality in clinical routine as well as an important research tool. Recently, the newly developed fully integrated PET/MR scanners were introduced to the market, raising high expectations especially due to the excellent soft tissue contrast and functional imaging capabilities of MRI. In this issue of the American Journal of N...
