An accurate diagnosis, nowadays, supposes sophisticated procedures to corroborate outstanding medical techniques, in the patient interest. This is due to the fact that different physical phenomena are giving different anatomical or physiological relevant details. Nuclear medicine, nuclear magnetic resonance or noninvasive microwave procedures are giving different aspects that are completing eac...

the present nuclear leakage crisis from japan is a topic to be discussed in present public health. in radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are considered hazard. here, the author briefly reviews and discusses on two important radio-hazard elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive iodine and radioactive cesium. based on previous similar nuclear crisis in russia, it is eviden...

a discrete mibi avid lung lesion was found in cinematic views of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) of a 59 year-old woman. interestingly, the abnormal uptake in the lung was detectable only in the rest phase images and not in the images acquired in the stress phase. mpi was performed for pre-operation cardiac risk assessment before correction surgery for spinal canal stenosis.  she had no past...

Today the applications of nuclear physics span a very broad range of topics and fields. This review discusses a number of aspects of these applications, including selected topics and concepts in nuclear reactor physics, nuclear fusion, nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear-geophysics, and nuclear medicine. The review begins with a historic summary of the early years in applied nuclear physics, wit...

The translation of a neurovascular hypothesis for Alzheimer's disease to subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT) is presented as a challenge to the predominantly sensorineural view of SIT and its clinical application for tinnitus treatment. The concept of neurovascular dysfunction and neurodegeneration (ND) in SIT patients has been proposed and reported as an etiology in a particular subset of tin...
