Introduction This study is an effort to diagnose breast cancer by processing the quantitative and qualitative information obtained from medical infrared imaging. The medical infrared imaging is free from any harmful radiation and it is one of the best advantages of the proposed method. By analyzing this information, the best diagnostic parameters among the available parameters are selected and ...

Detailed understanding of the complexities of flow and in biological materials is essential for the design, development, and optimization of MRI protocols for medical and biomedical applications. However, the design of such processes resort to trial and error, because the mathematics and physics of most experimental techniques are fundamentally limited. In this study, we develop a new magnetic ...

Surgical therapy in the cardio-vascular system aims at restoring blood flow to compromized organs and tissues at physiological conditions. The goal is to avoid reverse flow and low shear areas as these are indicators for recurrent cardiovascular disease. Alternate treatments cannot be tested in the patient and since the surgeon does not have the optimal design tools he traditionally bases the t...

A common question we are asked when informing patients about a PET scan is “Will it show the percentage of my artery that is blocked?” This question has triggered the following discussion about the importance of coronary blood flow rather than percent stenosis when checking on the status of the coronary arteries. The previous issue of PET News introduced readers to Non-invasive imaging of the h...
