Introduction: Dual-modality contrast agents, such as radiolabeled nanoparticles, are promising candidates for a number of diagnostic applications, namely SPECT imaging with MR imaging. So the aim of study was evaluating potential of Chitosan-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles(SPION) labeled with 99mTc as new Dual-modality probes for liver Imaging. Materials and Methods:</st...

objective(s): this study describes the preparation, biodistribution of 153sm-dtpa-spion after intravenous injection in rats. materials and methods: the chelator dtpa dianhydride was conjugated to spion using a small modification of the well-known cyclic anhydride method. conjugation was done at a 1: 4 (spion: ccdtpa) molar ratio. conjugation reaction was purified with magnetic assorting column ...

Introduction: Increasing in refer to computed tomography (CT-scan) imaging causes to increase in cumulative dose. Stereoradiography (EOS) is an X-ray imaging technology that, by eliminating scattering radiation, reduces patient's absorption dose and improves image quality.   Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a hosp...

cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cmri) is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases. we describe a multi-modality imaging evaluation of a 45-year-old man who experienced a near drowning event during swimming. we underline the unique capability of ti...

trauma is the leading cause of death in united states in the younger population. cardiac trauma is common following blunt chest injuries and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. this study discusses various multidetector computed tomography (mdct) findings of cardiac trauma. cardiac injuries are broadly categorized into the most commonly occurring blunt cardiac injury and the less c...

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...

osteomyelitis in childhood can be a challenging diagnosis. imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in children, and the imaging findings are crucial in the treatment decision. pediatric hematogenous osteomyelitis may have variable radiological expression, which is influenced by the age and condition of the patient, the virulence of the causative agent, the stage of the...
