Most people in the world speak more than one language, making bilingualism the norm rather than the exception. Furthermore, speakers generally also move their hands – they gesture – in coordination with speech and language in nontrivial ways. Bilingualism and multimodality should thus be on research agendas focused on the nature of linguistic systems and language use in context, yet they are of...

The current generation of mobile phones allows traditional interactions via menus and buttons, but offers a variety of new ways of interacting with the device via the built-in sensors. Multimodality through mobile phones are growing in importance and aims to create applications which are socially acceptable and enjoyable. We present multiple multimodal applications made for pedestrians and impa...

We present a Bayesian multimodality non-rigid image registration method. Since the likelihood is unknown in the general multimodality setting, we use a density estimator as a drop in replacement to the true likelihood. The prior is a standard small deformation penalty on the displacement field. Since mutual information-based methods are in widespread use for multimodality registration, we attem...

Intraoperative multimodality neurodiagnostic monitoring utilizing a transcranial Doppler, electroencephalography (EEG), and cerebral oximetry has been shown to reduce the incidence of neurological complications greatly. Potential problems affecting the brain can be detected and resolved or managed before disastrous consequences result. The use of multimodality neuromonitoring combined with trad...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a major advance that has dramatically changed our approach to elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis. This advance has been made possible by innovative device and delivery improvements, coupled with rapid developments in multimodality imaging. Multimodality imaging draws from multiple imaging fields and is central to patient evaluation and treatme...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS We report the case of a young woman with delayed cerebral infarction and intracranial hypertension following subarachnoid hemorrhage requiring hemicraniectomy, who underwent multimodality neuromonitoring of the contralateral hemisphere before and after craniectomy. RESULTS Intracranial hypertension was preceded by signs of ischemia and impaired brain metabolism diagnose...

Introduction: Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour (MPNST) is a malignant tumour arising from peripheral nerve or showing sheath differentiation, with the exception of tumours originating epineurium vasculature. Most these arise on trunk, extremities, head and neck regions. MPNST scalp very rare. Case Report: We, report case 71-year-old woman lesion in over occipital region FNAC features MP...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of changes in tumor size from images acquired by ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common measure of cancer chemotherapy efficacy. Tumor size measurement based on either the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria or the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) is the only imaging biomarker for anti-cancer drug...

BACKGROUND Multimodality treatment of head and neck cancer in rural India is not always feasible due to lack of infrastructure and logistics. AIM To demonstrate the feasibility of multimodality treatment for head and neck cancer in a community setting in rural India. SETTING AND DESIGN Community cancer center, retrospective review. MATERIALS AND METHODS This article focuses on practice en...

Today's medical imaging technologies are expected to furnish anatomic, physiologic, molecular, and genomic information for accurate disease diagnosis, prediction of treatment response, and development of highly specific and sensitive drugs and imaging agents. However, none of the current imaging methods used in humans provides comprehensive medical imaging. To harness the strengths of different...
