background: finding the safe location of spinal cord for cerebrospinal fluid (csf) during surgical procedures is very important due to its various nature for each patient as well as its potential peripheral nervous system hazards. the aim of this study was to find the relationship between the location of conus medullaris (cm) and gender, age and body mass index (bmi) in order to minimize the po...

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...

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...

Medical imaging has a remarkable role in the practice of clinical medicine. This study intends to evaluate the knowledge of indications of five common medical imaging modalities and estimation of the imposed cost of their non-indicated requests among medical students who attend Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. We conducted across-sectional survey using a self-administered qu...

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 ...

dependency of clinicians and surgeons on imaging studies for primary evaluation of patients and also for follow up of them, significantly increased in recent years, parallel to advances in imaging methods and new imaging modalities. regarding to these tips, it is important that we can use new concepts in conducting imaging to fulfill new requirements of clinicians and then provide sufficient da...

Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

In spite of very high sensitivity, bone scan is quite nonspecific in evaluation of bony lesions. In interpretation of bone scan special attention to patient’s clinical presentation and correlation with other lab and imaging modalities should be paid. In this report a patient with Erdheim Chester disease a rare and unusual form of lipidosis is presented and the pattern of 99mTc-MDP bone sc...
