Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as a vital imaging modality in cardiac electrophysiological studies (EPS) and structural heart interventions, offering real-time visualization of structures improved procedural guidance.

Ultrasound (US) imaging, due to its capabilities of real-time portability, low cost and favorable safety, is frequently used as a diagnostic modality for the visualization different diseases.

conclusions atypical irregular tumors should be considered as sos when the patient has received oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. a qualitative imaging modality diagnosis, such as with diffusion-weighted mri, is superior to a morphological diagnosis in focal sos. this imaging modality can prevent unnecessary operations. case presentation a 40-year-old woman with rectal cancer underwent high anter...

INTRODUCTION MRI-PET bimodal imaging is already a reality in fundamental and clinical research. Reaching the full potential of such dual imaging approaches for broader clinical acceptance may be through new methodologies that take advantages of one modality to compensate for the limitations of the other. The arterial input function (AIF) is commonly used for several types of MRI and PET pharmac...

BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ/BP-ONJ/BRONJ) is a commonly seen disease. During recent decades, major advances in diagnostics have occurred. Once the clinical picture shows typical MRONJ features, imaging is necessary to determine the size of the lesion. Exposed bone is not always painful, therefore a thorough clinical examination and radiological imaging ...

Intraoperative dual-modality imaging can help the surgeon distinguish tumor from normal tissue. This technique may prove particularly valuable if small tumors need to be removed that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. The humanized anticarcinoembryonic antigen (anti-CEA) monoclonal antibody, labetuzumab, can be used as a tumor-targeting agent in colorectal cancer, since CEA is overexpr...

FDG-PET/CT imaging is an established modality for the workup of several malignancies; it is now considered standard for the initial as well as a subsequent treatment strategy in the management of most malignancies. The focus of this article is to discuss the role of FDGPET/CT imaging in the workup and management of malignant bone and soft tissue tumors in conjunction with standard imaging techn...

Over the last decade, integrin α(v)β(3) has been studied with every single molecular imaging modality. Since no single modality is perfect and sufficient to obtain all the necessary information for a particular question, combination of certain molecular imaging modalities can offer synergistic advantages over any modality alone. This review will focus on multimodality imaging of integrin α(v)β(...

A novel dual-modality molecular probe composed of biocompatible Fe(3)O(4) nanocrystal, monoclonal antibody and radionuclide was designed and prepared. All functional components in the dual-modality molecular probe, i.e., Fe(3)O(4), PEG, mAb 3H11 and (125)I, were chemically bonded together for forming a stable molecular probe. Systematic in vitro experiments were carried out for evaluating the b...
