Introduction: In spite of all the researches on medical imaging, this field is still hot. It is the third major area of research, conducted in the world. Unfortunately, there is no statistical evaluation available of the student theses in Iran. It does not seem like a policy is going to be established to address this issue. Providing a statistical insight to activities done in ...

magnetic resonance imaging (mri) uses a constant magnetic field and radio waves, a non-invasive method for examining tissues, organs and the skeletal system. the advantages and disadvantages of mri is not fully understood. in the computerized tumor (ct) scan, as an invasive method, the x-rays of the body is used for tomography; which different x-ray attenuation coefficient in tissues as well as...

introduction: nowadays, science mapping is considered an excellent technique for decision-makers to find solutions for problems in research planning and development. in this work, we aimed to depict a science map of “radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging” in iran. methods: all publications indexed in thomson reuters web of science database in the fields mentioned above with at least ...

the application of magnetic resonance to diagnostic medical imaging stands as one of the great scientific achievements in the past 50 years. magnetic resonance techniques are easily applied to organs which remain stationary during the imaging procedure, such as the brain and musculoskeletal system. imaging of moving heart structures and circulating blood is considerably more difficult.   clinic...

Introduction: The limited spatial resolution of the gamma camera hinders the absolute quantification of planar images of small structures. The imaged structures are affected by partial volume effects (PVEs), which can spread activity and lead to underestimation of the regional distribution.  The use of optimum planar parameters reduces the impact of the limited spatial resolution of the gamma c...
