background imaging plays a critical role not only in the detection, but also in the characterization of lung masses as benign or malignant. objectives to determine the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung masses. patients and methods ninety-four masses were included in this prospective study. five dynamic seri...

in this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4d pet imaging. we will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic pet imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic pet datasets. various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that utilize iterative temporal smooth...

introduction: lymphoscintigraphy is imaging of the lymphatic system and has been integrated into the sentinel node mapping procedures. lymphoscintigraphy usually encompasses early or delayed static images. however, immediate dynamic imaging of the lymphatic basins and tumors has also been used as an adjunct lymphoscintigraphy imaging. the aim of this study was to assess the role of early dynami...

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...

Today, neuroscientists are interested in discovering human brain functions through brain networks. In this regard, the evaluation of dynamic changes in functional connectivity of the brain regions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging data has attracted their attention. In this paper, we focus on two model-based approaches, called the exponential weighted moving average model and the d...

in this paper, we propose and investigate distribution of intravascular and extravascular extracellular volume fractions (dieef) as a noninvasive biomarker for neovascularization assessment by dynamic contrast‑enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dce‑mri). a generalized two‑compartment exchange model (g2cxm) that uniformly includes the patlak model, tofts model, extended tofts model, and recent...
