tc-99m mibi has recently been used in the functional imaging of various tumors. this prospective study was performed to evaluate the role of tc-99m mibi imaging at the time of the initial staging, assessment of treatment response, follow-up studies and survaillance in hodgkin’s and non-hodgkin’s iymphoma. 25 patients (14 with hodgkin’s and 11 with non-hodgkin’s iymphoma) underwent 32 studies. t...

osteoma is a benign bone-forming tumor that usually arises in the craniofacial bones and rarely in the long bones. clavicular involvement is extremely rare. we report a 51-year-old woman with osteoma of the left clavicle. radiograph of the left shoulder showed a well-defined lobulated blastic mass in the proximal and mid-portion of the left clavicle. bone scintigraphy was performed 4 hours afte...

Learning objectives Molecular functional imaging (MFI) has given a newer insight to the medical imaging and has diversified the role of imaging in the field of the translational cancer medicine and has an indispensible role to play in screening, early diagnosis, staging, predicting prognosis, therapy delivery, therapy monitoring and follow-up. Overall there has been a significant development in...

Article history: Received 24 September 2009 Received in revised form 21 March 2010 Accepted 22 March 2010 Available online 28 April 2010 Neuro-imaging studies of intelligence implicate the importance of a parietal–frontal network. One unresolved issue is whether this network underlies a general factor of intelligence (g) or other specific cognitive factors. A second unresolved issue is whether ...

Introduction. The proliferation of 3T MRI scanners in the routine practice of neuroradiology has led to increasing appreciation for the advantages and disadvantages of high-field imaging, especially with the incorporation of advanced physiologic modalities such as perfusion, diffusion, and functional imaging into routine clinical protocols and the widespread adoption of parallel imaging techniq...

175 words) This paper reviews and synthesizes functional imaging research that over the past decade has begun to offer new insights into the brain mechanisms underlying emotion regulation. Towards that end, the first section of the paper outlines a model of the processes and neural systems involved in emotion generation and regulation. The second section surveys recent research supporting and e...

An analysis of the Functional Imaging Analysis Contest (FIAC) data is presented using spatial wavelet processing. This technique allows the image to be filtered adaptively according to the data itself, rather than relying on a predetermined filter. This adaptive filtering leads to better estimation of the parameters and contrasts in terms of mean squared error. It will be shown that by introduc...

Functional imaging techniques, such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), have enabled neuroscientists to elaborate how the human brain solves the formidable problem of decoding the speech signal. In this paper I will outline the properties of primate auditory cortex, and use this as an anatomical framework to address the data from functional imagi...
