neurofibroma is an autosomal dominant disorder which has major criteria such as hyperpigmentation (cafe-au lait spots), cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors and bone deformities. in this report, a case of multifocal intraosseous neurofibroma in a 16-year-old male with right facial asymmetry, multiple unerupted maxillary posterior teeth and a previous history of infratemporal and orbital neurofibro...

in radiation cancer treatments, the most of the side effects could be minimized using a proper dosimeter. gel dosimeter is the only three‑dimensional dosimeter and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the gold standard method for gel dosimeter readout. because of hard accessibility and high cost of sample reading by mri systems, some other alternative methods were developed. the optical computed...

abstract background cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. access to these tumors is difficult, and mri and ct scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. objective for better and earlie...

In recent years, the development of neuroimaging techniques such as high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), or single photon emission tomography (SPECT) has promoted the identification of structural and functional characteristics underlying mental disorders to a great extent. In anxiety disorders, recent...

background: a solitary necrotic nodule (snn) of the liver is an uncommon lesion, which is different from primary and metastatic liver cancers. objectives: to analyze the classification, ct and mr manifestation, and the pathological basis of solitary necrotic nodule of the liver (snn) in order to evaluate ct and mri as a diagnosing tool. patients and methods: this study included 29 patients with...

Introduction: This paper analyses the ability of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) for neural imaging. The current trend in the production of SPADs moves toward the minimumdark count rate (DCR) and maximum photon detection probability (PDP). Moreover, the jitter response which is the main measurement characteristic for the timing uncertainty is progressing. Methods: The neural imaging pro...

the aim of this article is to review the application of current imaging techniques used for the detection of viable myocardium. each technique is discussed briefly, and the more commonly used techniques are compared. the imaging techniques reviewed herein are dobutamine stress echocardiography, single photon emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography with f-18...

this paper intends to compare the abilities of the two major imaging modalities in nuclear medicine imaging: positron emission tomography (pet) and single photon emission computed tomography (spect). the motivations are many-fold: (i) to gain a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the two imaging modalities in the context of recent and ongoing developments in hardware and so...

in recent years, the development of neuroimaging techniques such as high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (mri), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), positron emission tomography (pet), or single photon emission tomography (spect) has promoted the identification of structural and functional characteristics underlying mental disorders to a great extent. in anxiety disorders, recent...
