Introduction: Accurate evaluation of femoral and tibial torsion is essential for children or adult with legs deformity, becuse incorrect legs morphogenesis can lead to pathological situation. CT scan is commonly used for the measurement of skeletal bone parameters. But, disability in imaging from standing and sitting posture and absorb dose of patients are deficits of this meth...

Veterinary diagnostic imaging has grown tremendously in the past 10 years. Digital radiology and cross sectional imaging modalities like ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have profoundly improved our ability to diagnose many small animal diseases. Digital radiography improves image quality while at the same time making radiographs easy to make and share ...

UNLABELLED Recent developments have established molecular imaging of mouse models with small-animal PET and bioluminescence imaging (BLI) as an important tool in cancer research. One of the disadvantages of these imaging modalities is the lack of anatomic information. We combined small-animal PET and BLI technology with small-animal CT to obtain fusion images with both molecular and anatomic in...

Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...

This article presents the data of using three phase-based X-ray imaging techniques to characterize biomaterial scaffold and soft tissues in situ, as reported in our study "Low-dose phase-based X-ray imaging techniques for in situ soft tissue engineering assessments" [1]. The examined parameters include the radiation dose, scan time, and image quality, which are all critical to longitudinal in s...

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) imaging is the choice of investigation for evaluation of extent of tumor under the mucosa, locally and regionally. This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of preoperative CT imaging in the staging of carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx.   Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all cases who were clinically (c) staged T3–T4 and w...

background: despite developments in surgical treatment, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy protocols, tumor recurrence and metastasis are still major problems in breast cancer management. the aim of the present report was to review and compare the performance of pet/ct with some of the conventional imaging modalities in detection of breast cancer recurrence. methods: a literature search was pe...

The need to study dynamic biologic processes in intact small-animal models of disease has stimulated the development of high-resolution nuclear imaging methods. These methods are capable of clarifying molecular interactions important in the onset and progression of disease, assessing the biologic relevance of drug candidates and potential imaging agents, and monitoring therapeutic effectiveness...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) systems with high resolution (also known as micro-CT systems) have been developed over the last two decades and have been used with great success in small animal studies. A micro-CT scanner is based on the same underlying physical principle as a clinical CT scanner, but it is designed for higher-resolution imaging. It produces three-dimensional (3D) tomographic da...
